And the poet wanders
In the world of thoughts
Piercing
Like the spears
Of a juicy song
Dazzling
Like the stars
When the night is set
Enchanting
Like the rose
Sparkling in your eyes
Revealing
Like the sun
About to set at dusk
But blind, yes blind
Like me, lost in you
…our love swaggers
In the ring of words
I COULD NOT GIVE YOU A LOVELY KISS
(For Ismail B. Garba’s ‘FOUR POEMS FOR CHARLES SIMIC')
As you
Twist
Turn
Twirl
Wiggle
Wriggle
Waggle
And moan lyrically
In response
To the softness of my caress
I see that:
Your rhymes
Are static
Your rhythm;
Loosed
Your cadence;
Broken
And
You have no title and such
I could not give you a lovely kiss
POETRY OF THE BEGINNING AND END
As singing sounds
Race through the future
In a blaze of light
With the Piercing rhythm
Of a perfected past
And
Flying stands of words
Quiver into the web
Without the gems of the living plasm
And without the perfect rose
I wonder and ponder why
The poet seeks the muse
And the muse seeks the poet
In the poetry of the beginning
SILENCE
Silence
Silence
Followed by:
A long heightened hollowed horror full protracted period of wait
Silence
Again silence
Then: A RANCOUS THUNDER!!!
As renditions exploded
In the Goitre of the Griot
