MOHAMMED SHAMS-DEEN

TITLE; Lost but Found

I was a victim of Adam's serpent

Who lure me to drink its venom

And wore its skin

So I turned wayfarer with serpentine trek

Trailing the trails of the snake.

But time has sucked the spree

And goaded me to a fork road:

One side proceeds by mud 

And the other by serpent prints

Mud road may lead me mad

Serpentine footprints to Satan

I toss a cowry of thought

Bequeathed me my father

Repudiating the serpentine Road

That leads to love of lone

Path which I hear cacophonies yonder

Where Arishe's skirt swore

Never to marry her knees . . .

To trace the footprints of Toha Zea

To scout for the stool of Okomfo Anokye

To seek the home of Gbewah

For I thirst to taste the wines

That from palms belly drip

I long to listen the jubilant crickets

That garnish dawn rhythms of timpana

The dancing smoke from the pulsing dung

The grinning greens from farming fields

And the sparkles and spectacles

Of father-niece-sister reverence

So I shall tread on the mud path 

For the trails of my ancestors.

KOLADE OLAWALE

TITLE; THE HEART-FINDER

.

.

I will be the explorer,

finding the road that leads alone to your

heart.

I will be the watch guard,

watching over your footsteps all day.

you will be the robber

burgling into my dreams at night.

.

.

I will stay in the dark,

trying to catch a glimpse of your beauty

in the splash of the moonlight.

I will be in the hidden

using all I've got to study your heart,

trying to find your dos and don'ts

.

.

I will take upon myself

the task of finding best way to caress for

your heart,

I will go extra miles

in search of the golden rose flower that

pleases you most,

I will dance in the rain,

I will walk on the ocean,

I will walk, I will run,

finding just the paths that lead alone to

your heart.

LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!!!!
