Alex Adeoye Poems

O’ traveler tell me tell me
Tell me about your journey so far, from morning till now?
‘Like picking among orange, walnut and bitter cola,
A herculean task of must, hence the journey may not commence
...

My father has his tongue
On what he wears
I grew up to know him on trousers and tin shirts
With a belt of an iron head, silver or gold
...

What you know is yours,
Thrown to you for a purpose.
Swallow your mussel
And get fat of it.
...

I learn to cheat
From my parent,
Who advised, 'Use paper.'
Charity begins at home.
...

Happenings are the events
Whose dealings roll away into history
As history are biographies of men
Whose activities snowball to stories.
...

O'swamp, o’ swamp
How I wish to have my way
Because I love u
I wish I could be favoured
...

I have to let you know my mind,
Even though I’m far from you,
How I wish you understand me, brothers
How I wish to express love and stand by it
...

No one could have known
How we all died
Because it was carried out
With modesty conceded under utmost secrecy
...

A night like this
makes man strong
Its inevitable
It differentiates men
...

Its a sin if you ask the question,
Do you love me?
If I answer yes, our sins became tautological
Because you are mine
...

Don't expect my cry
No, don't expect it, it won't happen
Unlike my friends I fell down
Because I hate shame
...

Lets see who will cry:
He accepted his being
Because of his odor
he refrains to lean on anyone close by
...

As you can see
The rose has as graceful layer of colourful flaps
Which are speaking beauty in volume of clear voices,
No mincing words.
...

Up here, I can see
How large the world can be.
How her wrapper drop-spread
With habitable set of crafts
...

My nose has defined me
It has detected sweet parstramy
Just at sight, the interest close the long gap
Forget! I risk it all that is how it goes
...

Before then, I sherish the love of all
Because I live within and working for happiness
That is the essence of togetherness
If my consciousness is enough for me
...

Don't expect my cry
No, don't expect it,
it won't happen
though I fell down,
...

I lost myself
In your gruesome drills
into this indefinite longing
Of perilous possibilities
...

If I say am free of this
The sick among us
Will diagnose a dangerous sickness
And name it after me.
...

I shouldn't have waited to catch a rest
But for my dream
I could have turned a bird
And fly away
...

The Best Poem Of Alex Adeoye

O'Traveler Tell Me Tell Me

O’ traveler tell me tell me
Tell me about your journey so far, from morning till now?
‘Like picking among orange, walnut and bitter cola,
A herculean task of must, hence the journey may not commence
I pick the hardest of all, bitter cola, and the journey started’.

O’ traveler tell me tell me
Tell me your journey so far from noon?
Like walk in hot rain, pealing of bitter cola
Some are empty, some are bad,
And some keep the beans.
I threw away the shells and ate the beans,
And the journey proceeded’.

O’ traveler tell me, tell me
Tell me about your journey so far up to here?
Like coming to a rest, to refresh and drink some water
I began to experience some taste as the water travels
Through the region of my heart
To the lower abdomen.

O’ traveler tell me, tell me
Tell me the journey so far from dawn to dusk.
