Olufunke Kolapo Poem
Like the warmth of the morning sun
so do thoughts of you embrace me
revealing how alive I am.
A glorious light of the new day,
so is your presence in my life,
relieving it of its shadows,
and marking the start of a new beginning.

Olufunke Kolapo Poem
A broken body
A shattered heart
A lonely soul
A dashed hope
is how his heart found mine
Found to mould what is left of it
More than a mate he is
Care and concern he brought along
with enduring love to flavour them
A perfect body
A warm blood
A big heart
and a youthful look
all sealed in one body
With promise of more
A heart broken by love
It’s said can only be healed by love
But this duo,
A broken body and shattered heart
this cannot heal.
and what can heal it
I know not
A crushed hope it can fix not
This love is not mine
she sings at dawn and dusk
Oh, how I have waited so long for you
Now that I can have it not
Now that I can keep it not
It comes a calling
on a heart oozing blood
on a body
not fit for a savage.
Love for a spurting heart
Passion for a damaged body
Oh fate!
Oh love!
How cruel art thou.

Olufunke Kolapo Poem
High in the blue sky
a dark lonely cloud
shadows the sun
above them, thunder rumbles;
and the trees humbly bow
to the incessant wind.
Beneath them,
shadows grow shorter and taller
from the north,
dust thick as fog gathers,
whirls and twirls
filling the sky with
murkiness and junks.
A lone leave circles and floats
blindly, undecided to rest
or join in the tumult
and then landed at my feet
I looked up as a tiny droplet
perched on my nose~
It's the first rain.

Olufunke Kolapo Poem
A Puff Of Air
In you I found the answers I sought
Embrace your promise of eternal love
Peace so sweet the river cowers
Happiness so deep the ocean cannot
fathom
In your arms I found relief
From pain, guilt and regret
Your offer new chances and choices
New meaning in life and its beauty
But your loving arms held too tight
Your whole entity a puff of air
You are all but the real deal
Stirring us on a juorney from the truth
I realized so late your true form
Just a mere picture of should be
All you teach is the could be
All that cradle me is a puff of air

Olufunke Kolapo Poem
Live for the moment
One day at a time
Borrow not sorrow
From the next morrow
Bud and blossom
Like a beautiful flower
Each day a way
Of living it
