“Confession Of An Unknown Lover,”
by Abayomi Ogunniyi
A long journey down the
lane of time.
In the cloak and garment
of beauty,
the engagement of the
soul to the art of her
attraction.
The twist in the curves of
her skin,
the blistering stars of the
eyes in the vane of
temptation.
Blowing the mind are hooks
of bleeding tales in the
deceitful ocean of love.
In the books of her heart,
the pages of rejection,
on the script of her mind
are tunes of separation in
a fallen defeat of romance.
The melody of her voice,
the rising tune in the
rhythm of mystery in
the clustered line of
confusion.
The sin of lust in the bell
of her attention,
the shaded colour of
innocence in the cloud
of distraction.
The veil of her beauty,
the vision of tortured
character.
In the movement of
class, the touch of
insanity.
The talent of attraction
in the sinking cloud
moving in the realm
