What Light?

What Light?

Specially engraved for my priceless and ever amazing wife. 

What light is light

If Yinka is not seen?

What joy is joy

If Yinka be not by?

Except it be to think that she is by

And feed upon the shadow of perfection 

Unless I be by Yinka in the day

There will be no day for me to look upon

Unless I be by Yinka in the night

There will be no music in the nightingale 

She thar Ne'er  that causes the fluidy gff

Tapping skills from the male fluid that yields her

She is my essence

And I seize to be i f she be not

Stabbed Green

Stabbed Green By Akintade Emmanuel

Yes!Our roof leaks

As we live through the creeks

On the crums we feed

Yet,our hope we breed

Our hope we nurse

Safeguarding from all curse 

Our dreams stabbed 

The rubbles grabbed 

Our placards were for expression 

As a hiding from depression

There at the crossroad we sang

Armed with smiles,handshake,hugs and flags

Born of the armoury of our lofty wishes

The evening sun of the crossroad disappeared 

Soley disclosing the souls of our green leaves 

To the recklessly brandished groundnuts of Khaki

Piercing through her flags transforming her snow to blood

Emptying dreams,raping and wrecking tomorrow 

Breath excused them hastily leaving their fist clenged

Till your end you pledged

Your heart bled to reveal your passion

Strong desires of lads and lasses 

Having your breath as a means of exchange 

Your soul as the atonement 

Resting your head upon the lap of the earth

With your name inscribed on the rocks of our hearts 

Time,the aged long healer surely will heal your wounds.
