Ahmed Lawal Poem
When i am alone on loneliness bay
There i sit in the thought of mine
A wondering world of imagination, a dream gay
Of all possible riches, wishing an ever fine
Seeing scope and dreaming hope at ease
Wishing for that, for that the mind dream
Longing to care, for those ill
All sweet butters and easing cream
Then a swift wind blows the still
Waking me from the stagnant sit
For all men in the world are but dreaming
Hoping for that, that fortune bit
Yet the running race ever a going
On a bay sand that ever sinking

Ahmed Lawal Poem
I see the long rays and coming of every moon
I see the sun up there at every noon
Never a change of day not thesame
on everyday i have laid claim
Soonest to come is a day not to complete
Soonest i turn my name is delete ...
That my name is face without a face
But some letters, a word and the words i lace ...

Ahmed Lawal Poem
how is home of the dead
Bare silence its field
The breathe h ere is a green
with flowers left by kin
Tomb stone face quiet
louder speak the wind
of nothing walk by
silence seems serene
Did they live
yet only seems nothing
that time has but fill
they living days now dead
To unkwnown besiege
if they live
its all but a stone
An evidence of speech
The address - two dates
of born and death
and his name include within
and his left behind of kith and kin
Sorrow make unfair science
it's distribution of various hieght
the young and age
All lay within
Of their mansion they ve given
all to a space
six foot a place
of final sleep
And the living with love
couldn't bring him home
he is all for the rotten
to a final stay, a skull old bone
the home of the dead
its speech holds little comfort
cold old tomb stone
surrounded by greens
And the owl howl
the ancient land witch cry
Sends the massege
right way home

Ahmed Lawal Poem
What windy essence belie me so
As the flowers of my eyes stand naked bare
And a darkness about creep to my soul
Seems empty loomness on me it snare
Will the horrid harsh wind come to past
Seems seasons on me that water is drought
those long days of bloomness i set and cast
The silent scents before this come wrath
Of my eye, the dove richly beloved
Of my petals, the bees roamly chants
On my stance, the birds treely golf
Watching from above, a heavenly stance
As i stand here about ruin and pale
A time will come when drought will fail

Ahmed Lawal Poem
The fool court
None escapes the riddle of the fool court
Each belly as empty as it wit
Each wit as full as others dull bit
One man's wit,another fool
Hail the fool court
Hail the wit worth
No man bigger as wit wall
Non escape a wit fall
You grow to age, as a wit cage

Ahmed Lawal Poem
A word,fruit of poets paradise
With a touch of essence, he write his delight
of men,and all with sight
Men dreaming schemes dreaming hope
Hanging to that, gold as a rope
And his drown in waters of his desire
Desire,a blind leading a blind
its looms touches the mind
it's as a light as a fire

Ahmed Lawal Poem
Want no mourning morrows
No running lakes by the falls
Want no laughing sorrow
No empty standing by the walls
Don't lock my door of morrows
Don't stretch your hands, where i can not touch
Don't shake your head, i'm no lost
Don't leave me on a lonely walk
I'm tears for rain to come
A drying flower for joy to come
I'm your dream to creaming dawn
A lonely child to a growing world

Ahmed Lawal Poem
True, one night
I saw a shing being
up, there in sparkle
winkling at me
as my joy lit
thoght he stay with me
when the morning came
i see all cloudy blue
True, one day
i saw a shadow being
walking with me
his step were echoesd of my steps
bending bowing he was
when night came
i see all darky mood

Ahmed Lawal Poem
Along this road, son
You cave your ways
The path you shall walk,son
Like roads snakes round the hills
And peaks and through the valleys
know well my son
Some roads are through the mountains' top
And some through the deepest valleys
as you walk through life
Cave your roads
Let no distraction come your path
Keeping you along the road
With flemzies and unworthy entertainment
Value your course
Keep to need and want
On life roads,are amenities
that glittering to the eye
Yet leave men to sigh, in the end
Keep well, and in the end , my son
Son,you should have walked your road

Ahmed Lawal Poem
See you not
Violence brawls silence
In brawls of loud voice
With roars of noise
To rule as king of voice
And be enthrone in reign of voices
Through all journey of violence
Back to home it's comes
To bow, in one voice
To lord silence
