Hassan Abdussalam Poem
I was too quick to trust her
Her eyes, her lips, her humility and
swarthiness…
Conviction was all I could gave in to.
Plethora of confidence I have built
upon her in a jiffy
Like an edifice built upon a solitary
island amidst vast oasis
She chimed my mind, and
thoughtless I became
I became vanquished of my
preservations
My assets, my accomplishments,
My most esteemed skill was hauled
out of me
A daring mistake worthy of my life
Her everything was like my dream
A dream I have kept and matched
for one being
I peered into her to see blemishes
Of actions and intentions,
Like steel, I believed my sight
without a scintilla of doubt
I paced when I lacked her
countenance
Her complexion was my dream hue
I gave her everything, not even a few
I was made to bank on her with my
limited wealth
My asset, my valued writings… my
breath
My mistake was irreversible
And her betrayal was irredeemable
My tears have become irrevocable
My pestilence incurable
And the incorrigible fate bonded my
mistake.
I thrust my debut into a strange hand
And beleaguered are my worries
already
To my face she waved an eternal
wand
A nude message I could not fathom
My pain grew and my anger brewed
This is my mistake for lewd
She was careless, heartless and
crude
My assets could make me a shrewd
Yet my hollow thoughts are making
me brood
My mistakes have me nude and
imbued

Hassan Abdussalam Poem
As the day dusked yesterday,
The deflowered sun shone down
with those eyes of a goldfish
'KATH’, got a light; 'EER’ lit a room;
And ‘AH’ illumined the night
No sound of a thing in your presence.
No bullet whirr, no horn blares
Not even the tick tock of the clock.
And thoughts of how good it is
To smell life and to sniff an ambush
on a friend
Newly met under an unsolicited
climate, crowned it all.
As bloated black eyes remained
promptly nudging on her fancy face
The blink of her eyes lasted on her
glance like a mirror
Reflecting how lucky Africa could be
To breathe this crevice of word out
in an ancient city
For pleasure, treasure and tender…
And how good it is to every ear…
Those cheeks in the dark that
dazzled joy and sorrow betwixt…
Is these all a happenstance…? I felt
the drip! Drip!! Drip!!!
Of the succulent drizzling rain, whilst
seated under the shade of the home
of sanctity
And the thought that someone has
to helm the hound of your name for
real, dawned on me. At night I
dreamt without sleeping; sleepless
thoughts of insomnia ravaged me,
yet my intellect hatched; and
became a slither of beauties of
mangoes, pineapples and roses
likened to you.
Yet how good to prick the secret fruit
to speak and felt her cajoling voice.
In my muffled thoughts, I slew my
intentions in cold blood and rolled
the inconveniences of those
moments in a raffia mat and hid
them in a secret blanket.
The cool weather speaks gale and
blew its wind from the north. I
shivered beneath my ribs, yet
unnoticed to her. I stood and smiled
in espionage and intrigue.
Whilst enduring the stark misery of
the chilled weather. It was over and
out, yet her name blots my thoughts
until cock crow…

Hassan Abdussalam Poem
MY HEART SPEAKS...
I am a palatial home mooning
over you
I'm built with gems from Egypt
To be dwelled by you --- Love
incarnate
On my walls are your effigy,
tableau
With an effective Bienvenue
inscribed as u reappeared.
You are revered an emblem of
peace in me,
Build in me blue turqoise, emerald
green, topaz, medallion...
Spatter your tears on me to
ressurrect my verdant desire
Doting on your absence.
Unbreakable I will remain for you,
until ur return from exile.
Unfissured I exist for you,
Inhabit me,
Rift your way into me.
Lest stillborn I am, infuse me with
life.
I cherish your bright ingress into
me even when my eyes see u not.
Splinter me into a thousand pieces,
yet immortal I yearn.
For you I live on...
The breath of my life... LOVE YOU
