Gilbert Asitibasi Poems
- 1. Precious
Like the roses vies your inate emotions...
Trust your companions touches the inner chambers of
Descerning thoughts.
Some call you names.
... - 2. Our Common Enemy
Put the bilot box and let's talk...
Every count breeds every betrayal
Nothing poisons if not from the inside
... - 3. The Solemn Cry
Where are the winds that sanctify pandemics?
Nations yearn your yawns.
Dawns swell now seeking your face:
Grapes taste sour amidst plaques of varied grades
... - 4. My Love
The myth behind my smile.
Treasure that was hidden from millions
Every dawn swirls in with your effervescence
The contours on your face melts me down.
... - 5. Deminishing Leaves
Life?
A tattoo of vapour and a skull of emptiness.
Each growing day each mourn and sadness,
Grasses devoided of moist waits the sickle.
... - 6. Written Devil
Nothing hurts than that excruciating pain within.
The night witch who witch hunt us in broad day.
Every jot for every death.
The second devil deviding our throats.
... - 7. Kwame Nkrumah
The only irroko found in our basin forest.
Poised of wisdom and unity.
The sacred saviour of the dark race
Embedded rock of our water-table
...
