Tobi Olanipekun Long Poems
- 1. Nostalgia
Far from home
Far alone
Alone in Rome
Walking down the aisle at gloam
... - 2. The Struggle To Freedom
freedom's just a few miles away
not that far though
the journey began a long long time ago
lack of perseverance made it seem as though it's infinite
... - 3. Behind The Scenes
behind the age lies a man
old enough to see through tides
but can't
behind the smile lies a father
... - 4. The Ladder
I yearn for the skies, to kiss the moon goodnight
I long to see the heavens and behold its splendor
I crave for nothing beneath...but above
the ladder to the top I attest
... - 5. Speak
Bound by inquisitive words
Words that seek freedom to be spilled to the world
I'm Intimidated by ears
... - 6. Adieu
Board a ship
Make a video clip
Of the times we did a kip
Merge the memories I'd love to keep
... - 7. So Long Love...
It's another night
Unlike the wonted times, this one's a deviation
It's been a whole boresome day
After the hustles & bustles of life
...
