Afolabi Muideen Poet Bio

How I Feel

At times when I journey in my mind,
journey into this elusive world
I feel like singing
dancing
jumping
for the measureless joy that rooms my heart
for what God has done for me

At times when I journey in my mind
journey into this elusive world
I feel neither joy nor sadness
I just think
at this time
I do my things nonchalantly

At times when I journey in my mind
journey into this elusive world
I feel like raining ocean of tears
for the sweet pain
too sweet to swallow in my path
for the way in which I embrace
where there seems to be no way
for the aims
to which I hold
fruitless aims, they seem
whereas age increases
day by day
for many things unmentioned!
when I travel in my mind
travel into this elusive world
I wonder
what future lies before me

Andrea Dietrich August 14, 2017 at 3:26 PM You have many thoughts to ponder, Afolabi, and that is why you are a poet! I think aging gives us even more to write about in a poetic way. REally enjoyed this one. Afolabi Muideen August 15, 2017 at 12:56 AM Thank you for the beautiful feedback dear Poet Andrea. It is true, aging gives more room for writing. Since we increase in Experience and Knowledge each day. Thank You ma.
