BIRTH OF CREATION By Ayoola Oke

The Ominous Mind broods over a sea of ideas Thoughts flame through the expansive firmaments Interlocking, engaging and creating patterns Before bursting into words, LET THERE BE LIGHT! The nature of the Infinitive rejoices Boundless leaps of rays break loose in joyous hymns Streaming freely in prisms of the elements To resurrect the beauties of colours and space The formless Being commands obedience to flow Arise and be separate in terraces and hills Undulating dunes and curving forms in bays Laced with serpent-rivers, waterfalls and delta ways The...

Confession by Ayoola Oke

Ajangbadi Whispers VI By Ayoola Oke

Did the passion not cling to us? In the heat of a cooling night Our glistening bodies illustrated Like a work of art by the moon Did the ecstasy not surmount? The peak of our withheld desires Let loose in the gut of the night To hang contentment at dawn Yet there were shallow meltdowns From unrehearsed boiling points That result in frozen grudges ... And quiet finger-pointing eyes Our happiness often abbreviated Could not mask gnawing emptiness That gaped the growing gulf between And secret tears of discontentment Ajangbadi was a place of...

A Tear For Nigeria By Ayoola Oke

A Chain Sonnet A TEAR FOR NIGERIA PART 1 Dusk snarls and threatens to swallow daylights As bleak darkness creeps on the sprawling land Its shadows climbing trees and hilly heights Before intense blackness descends its hand Soft lanterns, lamps and bulbs punctuate the speech That draws a sword’s sharp curtail on freedom They are no match for this harrowing pitch Each creates just an island of wisdom Under this guise the jaguars reign supreme They are the sculpted fangs of corruption Who suckle dry the blood of our frail dream That this land...
