Abdulhafeez Oyewole Poet Enclosed Rhyme

My Sinister Fits

Out of many days of my disturbed life
This year twenty thirteen is a blessing
I have ever seen -a satisfied wish.
I am now free from often fits for life.

In the previous years, I have prayed from
The ruding consciousness and wield disease.
Morning to night fever; morning and night fit:
A half of my age in the midst of storm.  

If it is headache, I would say 'normal',
But it is abrupt migraine. When it strikes,
It can make the patient seems like a liar
Before those that know when he is normal.

This migraine is not the usual fair ache,
It's one outlandish momentary freeze-
Freezing brain, closing sight and freezing quill.
'Unorthodox! Isn't it?' was my ache.

Richard Lamoureux April 28, 2013 at 8:25 AM You described my day yesterday. Still through the pain I forced myself to write, I try to write something each day to keep my skills sharp. The migraine makes it virtually impossible to concentrate.

Donna Jones April 12, 2013 at 8:53 PM Great description of this terrible pain...I also suffer ...and the meds are so expensive! I am so happy you are free! Maybe your faith can spread to me..:-) Donna Abdulhafeez Oyewole April 28, 2013 at 10:59 AM By faith, you shall be delivered from Migraines

Andrea Dietrich April 5, 2013 at 6:19 PM good, then I inferred correctly your meaning!!

Andrea Dietrich April 2, 2013 at 10:56 PM gosh, this sounds horrible to have such a pain. My sister suffers greatly from migraines as well. Scribe says you are using migraine as metaphor. is that true? Abdulhafeez Oyewole April 3, 2013 at 12:25 PM As Rick rightly observed 'Migraines are no fun' and so is my piece. Andrea, this piece is a whole taut about one challenging episode of my life and that of my twin brother. Thus, migraine' I used is not as metaphor but as its obvious truth about me... Though, I hv no experience of it since the beginning of this year. That is why I concluded with '...was my life' to show, by faith, it has ended.
