DELIVERING MY PREGNANCY

DELIVERING MY PREGNANCY

DELIVERING MY PREGNANCY!

 

Am Pregnant! Yes Pregnant! And For You!

I tried an abortion but failed like a coup

Pregnant like a dove not like a turtle-dove

Not with a child but with your subtle-love

 

Pregnant like the succulent grasses of the rain forest

I’m lost in the amazing maze of mesmerizing interest

Pregnant like the clouds about to pour with zest

I’m lost in my conquest to find your love on hillcrests

 

I have been arrested beaten and molested

By the gods of interest and the demons of pursuit

Yet I never give up to pain and despair

Though I have a sprain yet I ascend your stairs

 

Not to rest but to deliver my pregnancy

Not in discrepancy but with all decency

I have the tendency to fail but all I ask is clemency

from your heart and soul where I hope there is vacancy

Delivering my pregnancy

Delivering my pregnancy

 

I have climbed the highest hills

Just to tell you how I feel

I have crossed the largest seas

Just to show you the future I see

 

I Have lived in valleys

Just to express my values

I have hunted for miles

Just to see you full of smiles

 

The winds of love bend the branches of my heart in one direction

The tides of your affection leave me with fondness as infection

The sun of your feelings hit me hard like electrons

The rainstorms of passion sting me like injections

 

In Pains yet in pleasure

In deserted plains yet I find you to treasure

Tho my emotions mount pressure

Yet I endeavor to give you leisure

 

Your lips is sweeter than refined colostrum

Your heartbeat is more sonorous than my subtle drums

Your skin is as cool and tender as the morning dew

Your words taste as sweet as the African woman’s stew

 

Forget Zuma and Abuja come with me to Kilimanjaro

Let me swear my love in the presence of Cupid’s arrow

Let us have an exchange of hearts and rings

Lets us leave my kins and live as queen and king.

 

Words would try, but ail

Verses would aim but fail

Thousands of poems may be to no avail

But let not your heart be veiled

 

Lovers may say; “till death do us part”

But I say; even death cannot cross our path

Just like a pair of dice

This love will toss us to paradise.

MARCH’S MATCH FOR JONATHAN THE BUHARIST

MARCH’S MATCH FOR JONATHAN THE BUHARIST

March’s Match for Jonathan the Buharist

 

At the end of the scheming month

Seal your quick speaking mouth

Call me no Seer or Prophet

For I am but an ensnared Poet

 

Though they sign an accord

I do not see peace as a chord

Tying us to the feat of the future

But a broken feet to be sutured

 

Call me the minstrel of Doom

I can only laugh at your gloom

For the bride shall be without a groom

Like the scattered sons of a broom

 

It would not be free and fair

For this to be free of fear

For man shall match man

And month shall match March

 

Jonathan the Buharist

Jonathan the Buharist

Expectations shall be dashed

Just as Hopes shall be ashed

Like the remnant of a cremated corpse

The wind shall blow ashes from its cups

 

You hate the sound of Jonathan

You say he is a nonchalant charlatan

And you love the wind of Change

You say it blows away your rage

Harvest your fears

And prepare your tears

For your heart shall be pierced

As change-victory would be scarce

 

What nonsense have I said?

Oh, what sense have I made?

Saying the Charlatan may laugh last?

Or Change would grow weary?

No, Not at all!

 

Just like John the Baptist

We have our Jonathan the Buharist

 

POSTSCRIPT: A word for the profound, as the foolish things of these present times confounds the wise.

 

 Tijani Oluwamayowa.
