Kano

The hush sound of the mountains 
Such an eloquence that thrills the mind. 
Beautiful landscape terrifies the drumstick;
Groits! 
D blizzard environment, a scene to flourish the hyenas 
D still waters, fogs sent!
Such blessing I dare refuse? 

This beauty I long to hold, 
For Cleopatra never heed the call, 
The call for loins, the risk taken for it - àágùn. 
I cease to wonder what the beauty of life brings! 
Such a candour, its callousness offer 
What a myriad of history, its experiences  are! 
Its cadence, mankind lives for 
For this, I crave for? 
An endless thought. 



When thoughts precipitate, myriads of wits are birthed 
The first strand of grey, has come to rule
For being seconded by its dryness
A still scent of cold; breath
Dis terrain - beauty for all
Turbans; the beauty  I see more.
