My Poetry Diary

SEA, Thou came to me like the fresh morning light of a summer and I sob; It caught me amidst adulthood and I panicked like a bird in fright; Fatherhood ensnares; a falsehood taught at my downtown pub; Howbeit a jewel spring forth in my abode and make the darkness bright; Perhaps thy beauteous mind has singled me out... When thou came to me like rainfall in a desert that becomes a SEA and i smile, Now awestruck; I want thee no doubt; As I basked in thy innocence like an immersion of saints in river Nile; With the softness of thy waggling feet; I startled and I love at first sight; O' Cherubs and Seraphs I beseech thee and I fervently pray, Make thine eyes keenly on my jewel both in the darkness of the day and night; To my young lion my SEA; Happy 2nd birthday. (A poem written to celebrate SEA’s 2nd year birthday in August 2017) Gafar Odubote, “My daughter SEA”, copyright 2017

Oh my clans men; Why thou afraid of the light ? Why thou against the gospel of my doctrine? You chose the path merely good at thy sight. It's Ringing aloud, Like a church bell Somewhere around, It's end-time and hell, Christ is coming, Girdle up and be re-born, Maybe in the morning Tonight or at dawn, People were in awe; Ceaselessly questioning our faith; "Why thou worship as thus?" They leashed us never beyond their gate, I adorn my unembellished garment, Like the princely Cherubim, My tongue is like a sword of peace, Steadfastly I uphold the glory of seraphim. Seen much of the world, The gospels now fulfilled, Jesus is Lord, Leave behind at its foothill   He is calling That we may repent, He is coming, To save from the serpent. Proudly Cherubim and Seraphim I am, Graciously on a mission bound; Our apparel as white as snow shall glow, Calling to the light as our bell sounds. Poem...
