Oluwatosin Thomas Poems

I
With your tongue filled with sores, your lies spread forth like a bomb.
With your blabbing throat, terror echoes on like a war on my coast.
A promise of an imaginary world, my soul longs on like a rod.
...

I
Days begin to pearch as the calls begin to roll through,
I left it unpicked but responded to the text coming through.
I placed the footprint in my heart and retard the fingerprint.
...

.
Time is the unit of measure,
And the clock begins to tick again.
With enough time to fix my errors,
...

.
In the wake of the 6th day of the 9th moon,
The hen barks and dog crows,
Sun in the night and moon in the day,
...

I

The ills of yesterday pulled you down,
...

I
I have heard tales and experiences,
I have encountered plays and replays,
Delved into the realm of staying alive and game over,
...

BUTTERFLIES

At the crest and its lowest part
We've been together.
...

I
They say heaven waits beyond the sky,
Where angels sing and spirits fly;
But what if heaven is not so far,
...

I
They hear the truth, so clear, so bright,
Yet search for shadows in the light.
You speak with honesty, bare and true,
...
