THE NIGHT -BY OLANIYI ABDULWAHEED

Do not deny the night its right
Give the bed the hope, relish
The honey lying in the ribs of the dusk,
The night has come with guests for the eyes,
To dine with world of death while alive.
Leave the body in the grave of conscious-less

Those who journey through the hearts of the night
Come; awaken the dawn of their dusk
Theirs, the night, walks to venture in the trade of blood
They are the guards of the earth,
Who keep lives by digging their graves,
Fly with tune of their sonorous mythical poems.

Ah! I fear the birds of the night
Flying with the horse-with steering horns.

Yet,
The night at the door of my dusk, errand,
The breeze
That sings sonorous songs of a new dawn
The night that brings hampers
Of gentle strides to the shoulder of my fate


The night, therein the certified sage
There, in the night
I ride, on my bed, the horse to the façade
Of sacrum and dawn.
