Bale Visions Poem by Adeosun Olamide

Bale Visions



Daughter slumbers
Oh beautiful fingers
Go take
Three or two should chop
And see if grow shall

Hey- Quiet darling
Scream not little angel
Shall disturb neighbors with cry?
Remember God won't assent
Bequeath eternal sleep- strolls thought
Say- potion shall end anguish
And lo- potion brought her chill
Carry bed- cold she and blanket ov'r put

Aw- frightening Nightmare yet
Save God- this recurring dream

Wake darling angel for doth robe yours
Wake darling angel- for made thee flan
Oh poor me- who murder daughter?
God give and take- all say
Cut finger and slit throat

Lonely dwell- each night starved slumber
With beam memory gleaming still
Seem memory guiltess self- daughters passing
And in grief that sinks- caught Pete

Pete left
Got you- daily says
Go take prove
Kill mother, poison siblings
And find if love still

Save- priest from recurring vision
Gentle whispers dwelling in ears
Heard before find daughter dead
Tell priest- what atone must make

Oh poor Pete- God gives and take
Plugged aged eyes and ruin their organs?
How fiend finds man dwelling
But shall say- God gives and take

Lone dwell- daily in memory slip
Priest whispers secret to air
To save others- deeds did
And soon all to self point guilt finger
Free- court acquits
But soul yours in fetters know
Find path escape
Take cliff
And course breeze face

Oh wells of soul- stream thro
And there in queue to see judge
God gives and take- banner dwell
And of suicide- was channeled hell
But filthy foul judge
Where hides when evil use hand?
See robe- how purest
Dost see blood in hands
Or find conscious me when doest wrong?
Hand of God merely been
For God only gives and take
But filthy foul judge claim deaf
And led to life and past

Daughter slumbers
Oh beautiful fingers
Go take
Two or three should chop
And see if grow shall
But filthy foul judge find remedy
Made deaf and cause whispers elude
