Ibrahim Bidu

I wanted to write you a letter
There is so much I want to say
And though I seem to find
No word to express
...

Forcefully you entered
Entered without care
My heart you dared
Oh God am scared.
...

I stand at the edge of the road
Thinking,
Where I stand is a bit warm
It’s close to home
...

I have seven real sisters

Six real brothers
...

It is one
And only truth all acknowledge
It's inevitable,
It discriminates not;
...

It’s almost a year now
Since you went away
But it seems just like this morning
I saw you seated at your desk smiling.
...

Long faces
Frowning faces
Gloomy ones
Grimaces
...

The first time on you I set my eyes
I hoped it was a storm that’s bound to pass
I rubbed my eyes
To make sure I was fine,
...

Fate, dear friend
I’ll never fail to thank;
Though it deals me a cruel hand at times
This time it is a friend
...

Never seen something like this
Never thought this would happen to me
My world to turn upside down,
Is one thing I had never foreseen.
...

My heart,
My breath,
My knees,
My voice
...

Seated on a rock

At the edge of the water
...

Animated discussion,
Gesticulations,
An obscene joke or two,
Bombastic words
...

What speed!

What a rush!
...

As she sadly sits

Or so it seems,
...

Am in not so great a mood

As I write this;
...

She is interesting,

She's fun to talk to
...

It sounds like a big lie
To say you are always on my mind
And you might even wander
Whether it is for lack of something to do
...

The moon shyly hides

Behind a speck of cloud
...

I complained I must confess
I ranted and raved
About life’s pace
For it seemed too slow
...
