Emmanuel Adekunle Poem
You were the promised "slice of heaven"
The adventure termed a futile endeavor.
I sought after, I fought for, I got “you”.
But after this there won't be us anymore.
Just stories,
Unknown, unfinished
Buried in the abyss of the mind
Crushed by the dirt of activity and endeavor.
To be chanced on later by some adventurous
ah 'moments'
Now discovered like treasures buried or so
we'll think.
Held dear like treasures are wont to.

Emmanuel Adekunle Poem
And God saw it all and it was good
He saw the man, and the beasts
The silent stream, weaving and waving through the woods.
Serene, Blissful, Breath Giving spectacle.
It was good but God lingered
Ah-ah! an Idea through the dark like a halberd in battle.
Woman was created, such a beauty,
the much needed flint for the “spark of life”
and while it lasted it was good.
Hey!!!
The storks have arrived and the peak of evolution attained.
MOTHER was crafted,
forged in the fires of perseverance,
chisels of LOVE etched on her the ancient runes of endurance.
yes the masterpiece is done,
And God looked again and saw perfection.
Serene, Blissful, Breath giving, Perfect spectacle.
Our ungrateful asses holler, "WE LOVE YOU!"
not enough to cover all quiet ones we skipped though.
The dog hid his Mother in heaven,
today he is Man's best friend, companion even.
such is it for those who cherish Mother.
take a full minute, speak no word, take a trip to the past
I'll be back in a minute.
>............................................................<
Yeah, that's for all the prone ones.
deep breaths and sighs a silent teardrop,
able testament of your life and love.
