MARYAMA(THREE) BY: HASSAN IDRIS

Dedicated to Maryam Yaseerat Sulaiman

If love was God, I would have
surely searched for another God
in you in this journey of love
shall I purify my soul with
your incomparable love.

If I should be a love drunkard,
I would have surely drank
from your ceaseless love
and intoxicated my eyes with
your stunning beauty.

If I could request a death
warrant from God, I would
have warranted my soul
in replacement of yours in
the kingdom of God!

If I could turn the day to
night, I would have made the
day night and ask the moon to
be a shade to your radiant
and becharming beauty.

If your love should serve
as bleaching cream, I would
have happily bleached my
heart and body with your love.

" I wish I could write "

“ I wish I could write “ I wish I could write for you, how the great Umar Yogiza's Pen flip up pages, portraying love and simplicity! I wish I could write how Maryam Gatawa’s ink, Pierced through my heart like the way a needle pierce through the hands of a man How Adamu Usman Garko's literary works, wakes the dead from the grave, unleashing them to sing 'Galala' to the amusement of his Pen I wish I could, I could write how Mujahid Ameen Lilo’s Pen, sings the melody of a caring brother washing away my sorrows I wish to write of Sulayman Ayub, how his Pen advocated humanity,and how it analysed the loop holes of this generation How Maryam Mayner's pen inspired my fallen soul, and how Sultie's Magical pen washes away my sorrows like Alomo bitter I wish I could be a writer, writing about humanity and creativity! © Hassan Idris July, 2019 Hassan Idris hails from kogi state, an Igala by tribe.

Poem:Borno : by Hassan Idris

Like vultures we flew and hid our faces trembling with fear Our harmony thorn to pieces, with our eyes open we sleep, for our land has been raped Like monkeys we live in the forest, living behind our homes homeless, and our chickens roasted With rifles and A. K'47s they came, unleashing mayhem, sweeping out innocent souls Like rapists they defiled Borno, a home of peace turned into where cockroaches and rats dine and wine in amusement Ooh! Mujahid Ameen lilo, write me Borno! Write me of how it used to be the home of peace, how its nature attracts the mind and soul © Hassan Idris 1/9/2019
