Saheed Ridwan Poet Imagism

Words of My Ghost

I lie to mother 
That the traffic 
Held me
If only I could call these love

I steal from my father 
To make you 
Happy 
If only I could call these love 

I borrow from friends
Those cloths
My out fit 
If only I could call these love 

And when I seek 
Your bed 
You gave it away 
If only I could call these love

And when I ask
Why, you poisoned
My tea cup
If only I could call these love

Though these day
I lie dying 
On your laps 
If only I could call these love 

And your two eyes 
Oozed out 
Their tears 
If only I could call these love

You were in 
Black to mourn 
My left over 
If only I could call these love

And when the 
Silent hour pass
 You last kissed my tomb
Oh o o hmm if only I could call these love
