The Whimpered WhisperingsA Poem by Adeosun Olamide
Descend atop soul sanity mask in madness
From above heaven whose eyes within see Beyond shores existence laid me Burying me in ere twain Gusting world mine to world hers Up on thoughts, string illusoriness That separates’ from us you And yet makes special, unique, different’ disease Whereon shame appears to dearest Nor disappears aloofness Some trade life worthy not exchange Which fates gift up on lowly Fashioning life on path mystery That rose on desert air rejoice in comparison The streak life in death In clamors unknown, made’ only my notice That leaves muttering to yours lips The bind ye little gods, with power over shoulders weakened And in clatters picks paleness over beauty Ignored the within, letting it wither perish Conflicting thoughts, utterances Listening fragile, mind busy Above lamentations eyes blinks Away freedom from shame, with wings vulnerability And yet price expensive as sink into clumsy alienation As trailing moving ants smiles rewinds reminds Of remains memories, and of its blankness Leaving in shores unwrapped, uncovered Leaving not a cord of reasoning Which, what I with heart half, ripped soul, aging body? What not if empty not? Like red rose tossing winds wild, with fragrance lost Of blooming style, wearied and sucked of blood Like it, my heart ends Of trees heartbeat I hear, Of leaves veins I feel Towards stars, I see wires And root neurons When again the commune of breeze Or the romantic touch of night sun Or sight the noon star, the night rainbow When again, lesser be all afore Let it the voice heard in the herds bleat Let it the voice noticed in bees buzzes, in chirping birds With clouds whispering me before it pours And road telling where it goes Night revealing it journeys as day With love gossiping of coming hatred, disgust And deeds, of rewards, sows, of harvest With door telling where it passes And babies, who they be Have not you the words spoken? That still fetters my ankles keep That still locked between walls I That I prepare for fallen night, With garments sleeps I as I journey For dreams sometimes of mourn, often to merry If this, mirror held sway as I slumbers lumber. I the might not of madness but fondness Trickle, tinkles seconds away flips As curtains a close draw With theme, plot, setting absent For even life mystery webbed reality Through overgrown state journeys eternal Beneath wordless voice perceive The whimpers, whispering souls © 2017 Adeosun Olamide |
