MISERABLE FOLA.

Day chamelioned to night,
And as he walked past like a bullock,
The usual smells got up from their corners,
Shook dust off their buttock,
And attacked his nostrils like fore-runners.

Physically miserable with saggy jean,
Blotchy skin and dust polished sneakers.
Another day lost,no job found.
Pounding head and aching jaws,
Redhot eyes,Fola is a mess.

Dark cottage,no porridge,fowl stench.
Knees on ground,body slowly lowers.
"I quit".
"I fold the day".
"I am gone".
Morning announces his repose,
Neigbours gather for Fola's dispose.

Dark dept,shallow pit,six feat.
Dirgy cries,more mourn,no feast.
Fola.
Breath and scent undesirable,
Miserable,Fola is miserable.

ICICLE.

The spirit feeds on frame,
Of hurtling fame.
Dark ethos,coquettish game,
Explore eugenics.
Scream eureka!
Life and icicle.


Esteem weakens,courage fails.
We become weak,we become faint.
We destroy ourselves.
We are evanescent,
Like an icicle.
Scream eureka!
Life and icicle.


When chips are down,
We are repudiated.
Living,hanging,searching for bailiff.
Hanging,tapering piece of icicle.
Scream eureka!
Life and icicle.


Dance in idyll,
Wail in peril,
Watch vicissitudes.
Catch an ice,
Toss a dice.
Scream eureka!
S-c-r-e-a-m!
I,
Life and icicle.

ASABE.

Partaker in the Painted veil called life,
Symbol of fruithfulness,
Symbol of motherhood.
Bent on fufilling destiny,
While turning around
Like a dog,
Trying to settle on a rug.


Thorny beauty as that
Of modern witches,
Asabe.
Supressed by mute
Echoes of pain,
Her skin caressed by
Fierce harmattan sun.


Wrapped in painful
Comfort of her Lord
Enuch,
Symbol of barrenness.
Asabe,
The once innocent Tendril.


Torrential downpour On leaking thatched Roof.
Hers is the tragi-Comic Schedule,
For she continues,
Dawdling as the call Of eagles on day old,
Chicks.


On face depressed With,
Oily tears.
Asabe reaches for Life,
And desire,
And dreams,
And death.

Thank you.
Fola is depicted as a guy who doesn't live the comfortable life of having a decent job,a decent house and even a decent food...So he sees himself miserable enough and gave up after another wasted day of not getting a job and hunger..

Lying alone.
With my head on the Floor.
Thinking of you Till it Hurts.
Whatever tomorrow Would bring.
I choose these words.

"I'm all out of love.
I'm so lost without You.
I know you were Right,
For leaving for so Long.
I can't be too late.
To say that I want so
Much.."
