Thanks to you @sledgehammerlit
“I was caught in cobwebs
[even] the earth preyed on me in prayer
& I merried in sorrow [full] tone…”
Intense poetics by @OraclesVoice1

words are not always on our lips
we dig deep beneath the earth
to breathe fresh ones
& at times, they are reflections of the past
Most time, we speak
to generation unborn
sometimes, we commune
with unseen beings
that is how we live our lives as poets.
Stephen Oladayo Oladokun: A Deep Shallow Tale africanwriter.com/stephen-ol… Read and leave comment
my throat choked & I gasped for words;
Is this the land bought with our fathers' blood?
I searched for my voice amidst
my kinsmen but... gone!

the moon hid behind the cloud
the candle light faded away
a demon in my father's cloth
called for romantic dance.

children of the sun
black warriors in dark coats
marching on bleeding soil
shall we today find our voice in the air?
The fall of my shadow
Ghost dancing in air
My bones in pretty grave
