People of the Past

 Where are those people I left in the past

have they become memories, existing only in the realm of thought,

abstract figures

 full of life, blood and guile living

The house in Ikeja, the policemen who guarded it

the tilers in Lagos

The widow in Port Harcourt

The waitresses  in Ghana

The taxi man who took me to the park

the bike men in Seme

the policemen in Togo

The border guards in Abijan

the driver in Ireland

the shopman in Dubai

the kind shop guy in Malaysia

our paths crossed once in eternity,

I remain a hallucination, 

you remain etched in my thoughts 

immortalised by my words

Time

 The revealer, arbiter, leveler of time you fall heavily, softly, slowly, you fall on us all we are all allotted portions of your rare gifts,  careful portions, spaces that seem to spawn and seem so small we crawl and walk, some do not and fade we walk and talk , but that portion is denied to orders we talk and comprehend, while others fly into the abyss of the void we know, grow and blossom, beautiful and strong, we think and worry  we worry and accept the fates, some broken, some fiery, some weary and jaded we see the signs of the passing days, on our faces, on our hair, in the eyes of children, who start the same circle, we wait and rest, our weary bones, tired legs and long for days of the past. our deaths are the comeuppance of living, we spent out time
