bimisola Babalola Poems

Revenge.

I held a grudge so tight as if my life depended on it,
I yearned for the day that my Revenge would come,
...

Closer.
'Just a little closer', she whispers in my ear,
As my expression is filled with fear,
I know this familiar voice I hate yet always hear,
...

Chess.
The Bishops stand beside the King and Queen,
Saying their holy prayers for victory of this war.
The Queen pleads for peace and she remains in pain,
...

Just a slip of the tongue could bring a man, a child, a family, and even an empire to their doom and to their victory,
What do you preach?
What do you prophesy?
The truth or the false,
...

Many times or often you have overheard that and have been told
Many of men have their lives to be sold
They have warned you from experience whether young or old
But a woman’s beautiful face is only for behold
...

Revenge version 2.

I held a grudge so tight as if my life depended on it,
I yearned for the day that my Revenge would come,
...

Invisible.
I am he who walks in the brightest light yet completely hidden in plain sight, what am i?
Invisible yes indeed and by my own will I will be seen,
The noises at night that frighten you yet the source you can’t see was just me,
...

The Life.
This is the life, the life dreamed of though we got it all by sin,
Why aren't you happy with this life we dreamed of before our chances were very thin,
We were not happy, we were poor and we continued to want more
