Rabo Sanusi

Have never faced challenge so gross
Once was a thing to rejoice
But after experiencing the hardship
Presented to me by the outside world...
...

The hall soars in silence
Even the wall stares at me
My colleagues looking all excited
As they expect to hear a poem from me
...

If I was light
I will illuminate the path of the blind
If I was destiny
I will close the pages of the greedy
...

A thousand stars cannot compare with the sparkle in your eyes...
A thousand poets cannot write the romantic words in my heart
A thousand damsel cannot match your beaut
A thousand words are not enough to describe my feelings for you
...

As I lay watching the dark clouds
Wondering where to put my head
Yet, can’t seem to rest my eyes
But aloud she sleeps
...

With tears in my eyes
Fire in my heart
Chaos in my brain…
Coz of the thought of my beloved in another’s warmth
...

My world used to be full of roses
Joy was my guiding angel
My friends whom are my strongest defence
The once whose friendship
...

What am i going to write about?
as i seat on my craggy chair
with my pen firmly placed around my hands
my scanty table filled with papers
...

Great Nigeria my motherland,
with unpatriotic and undedicated citizens...
where corruption is the order of the day
oh! My wonderful nation
...

Just at the verge of loosing it
She appeared unto me
And dragged away my burden of sorrows
Just as the sun brightens the earth
...

After a lot of gamble
My fragile heart decides to settle
As love is said to be a candle
And it kindles the heart
...

To what lye this tragedy
a life full of heartbreaks and chaos
the temptation clings unto my soul
as frustration becomes my innermost friend
...

Love is a succulent and juicy apple
for those who don’t fall into it from the in-depth of their heart...
but i can’t love without pouring out all my emotions
and now my heart is full of sorrows and pains,
...

Everyday i seat in the blossom of my meditation
occupied with many romantic lyric to tell you
even when i’m sick
the thought of you makes my heart healthy...
...

As fierce as it may be
the scary scene that arouse my sight
A demonic scarecrow to behold
My friend and i are chased by a machete man...
...

I’m becoming mentally disarrayed
could this truly be happening...
how could such thought creep into my head?
as flames devour the innermost part of my happiness
...

Yes truly…
A brother like mine
Who dries my tears when everyone deserts me
The one whom remembers me like the air he breathes
...

That’s me!
Ever smiling, ever courageous...
...

As I whiz through the darkest of forest
My thoughts clouded with bravado
Yet, bewildered by the struggle beforehand
My heart quiver
...

With courage we triumph
Both vying for the course of victory
But how do you feel
Knowing your life is at the mercy of the enemy…
...
