My Earth, My City and My Heartthrob

My Earth, My City and My Heartthrob
When the Atlas shook
The floors cracked under our feet.
And the walls collapsed.
Coughs of inferno
Raining fiery ashes down
Fuel of fire flows.
Rising up higher
The waves swallow shells and sand
While the swimmers scream.
Lagos city crawls
Tortoise caught in winding paths
Lost in the jungle.
Heaps of refuse
Decorating the streets
With evil miasma.
Commuters picket
As pump prices
Of fuel rise.
Oh, humanity!
Why are you such a wonder
That makes me numb.
Only God knows how
How the wind in autumn blows
How the river flows.
Life is a prayer
Total submission to God
Overcomes the world.
I see the rainbow
In seven colours
When life is in bloom.
In the summer of love
Passions bloom like sunflowers
In garden of life.
Adeleke came
Our muse ascended higher
Reaching for the stars.
Stark silken tresses
Glowing eyelashes of night
The sheen of the moon.
Twin blinking brown balls
Golden eye lashes of dawn
In the rising sun.
Even heaven knows
What my heart is going through
All because of you.
In painted haiku
Flowers of our love unfold
As red roses bloom.

When it comes to poetry, I don't need the validation of any person or institution to affirm that I am one of the greatest poets of all time.
Even in classical studies in Antiquity, I have not read of any poet who recited poetry in tongues. I am not an ordinary poet. I am a poet taught by the Holy Spirit of Almighty God JEHOVAH NISSI.
