MY GOLDEN MIRROR by Beyioku O. Benjamin

MY GOLDEN MIRROR.
Placed in front of me
to showcase my unending joy,
my better vision,
my all in all.
I could remember the pain I felt,
when I walked a long valley accompanied by darkness,
I climbed high mountains,
and crossed great rivers in search of you.
A solitary mission.

My golden mirror,
sent from above,
each time I look at you,
I see myself,
pondering in the mysteries of thou.
Knowing fully well the concept of nature,
Yet in the earliest of morning,
you are still far above models,
your beauty is enough clue to end a war.
You shall forever shine.

Shine oh mirror,
for in you alone will I live to see the great work of God.
My golden mirror.

NEW BOOK: FILLINGS AND FEELINGS NOW AVAILABLE FOR FRE E REVIEW I really commend the use of literary devices in the entire work and the application of creativity. One can digest the true state of the poet’s heart. The feeling from the poems in this chapbook is one that bleeds into one another and could fill the reader’s mind with double charm of love and infatuation. “yet she doesn’t understand you don’t write her love poems to quench her reading thirst” −(Fillings and Feelings) The poet really wants to be in love, but finds it hard to take the yoke off his neck. This piece in its entirety depicts the struggling love life of a poet, who is yet deceived by the ingenious nature of his artistic personality. Can he still find love?

FATE OR ILLUCK?

I can hear history whisper to the present, But the historian is too busy with presents To give the morrow that is to be. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not yet here. There's an unending dialogue, Betwixt the kings and their heirs. Africa! Land of earthen beauty; Who sold her gold to buy earrings. Before the coming of the elder seaman, Africa drank the wines that dropped from their palm lines. Their rulers weren't just seated on the throne, They drew lines of greatness in the depths of the oceans. Folklores under the moonlight, Made every listener hold on to his folk's tail. Have you so soon forgotten Mansa Kanka Musa, Whose appearance at Hajj is likened to the rising of the morning sun? African rulers dictated the tides of the seas And spelt all the hands of time Wrote on Africa's sands of time. Fly me back in time. For the present is lame & the future is obscure. Rulers of hoarse voices. Drumming virtue, yet raining vices. Rulers of biza...
