If Only They Knew

His mind in a state of the jungle Roaring, perching, and hissing Things ground to a halt To the rivers the wind blew Calmness of the sea from the blues I watched as the tail flaps The thinking machine working like a clock The receptive organ so far away Come down to earth The container shaking The clippers tightened punches in the air Where did the diamond in the sky go? In the cool dark room stood diamond Leaking water, like a running tap The vibration coming through I believe could move a statue Like a warrior in sorrow Words flows like arrow Rants flows non stop. Then I paused.... Diamonds in the dark The guardian at sea Both at a loss hearts apart One looks to the jungle, the other hidden in secret Paused again If only they knew Usain Bolt will be a joke As they will gather momentum To find solace In the comfort of their zone Written by Kolawole Ogunfowokan
