Abdulsalam Oyinlola Poems
- 1. Vile Art
Wickedness, plain witchery
A withdrawal from the way of wisdom
For when you will to wait a while
You only wallow more in wilderness.
... - 2. Walking Corpses
So many folks are walking corpses
They have died a thousand times in the head
Their life have been snuffed out
Their eyes, hollow and sunken
... - 3. Propinquity
This golden ring on my fourth finger,
Reminds me of love when troubles linger,
Calls to memory that solemn vow,
To follow undaunted no matter how.
... - 4. Metamorphosis
Nine anxious moons has passed
Welcome, oh heaven-sent bundle
This day wheeh! wheeh! turns profound
Today permed hair turns gray too soon.
... - 5. I Want To Dance
Throw me the drum of joy
I want the song of apàlà
My inner part needs the drum of bàtá
I can let the sadness go off
... - 6. Adopted
I am not one of the professional writers
But I wish to write a poem or two by joining together some letters,
What I want to write I don't know
... - 7. AgÀn
In emptiness, you sobbed to the stream
If only you could have one if not many like Molara
A deserted space you called yourself
But no, you are a wonderful woman with a heart of Gold
...
