Best Poems Written by Bello Shehu

The Void

The void between me and life
is a smile buried in deserts.
i have tasted the  wind 
hushing to its truth.
As I look into the cemetery of time,
Distance blinds itself away from my sensation. 

I search for my psyche in hurricanes, 
Where teardrops fall with rain
And for the first time In ages
clouds gather to harvest my sweat behind every wail I veiled.
Storms do not forget to leave their marks around my body. 

If only my palms knew how to 
crush a stone earlier before now 
Sounds of air would have merry with me
