MARYAMA(TWO), BY: HASSAN IDRIS



Dedicated to Maryam Yaseerat Sulaiman


I will crucify death if it cross
the path of my love for you,
I will end her life if she has one.

I will succumb my loving soul
to  death if she wins this battle
of love, and if I stand firm to
win this horrific and tragic
love battle, I will remove the
soul of death and present it
to you.

I will sit you down on the
Sofa of love to watch me
battle with my soul if it tries
to cross the milky path of my
love for you shall I nicely-tattoo
my emotions on your heart.

I will sacrifice my last
breath for your love even
if it means battling with
the hurdles of the pains of
life and death, shall I reap off
my skin to serve as a shelter
to your sparkling goddess skin.

I will make sure my emotions
and unending love devotions
shall surely capture and
beguile your becharming soul
with no undivided attention.

I will tell death that I'm
an immigrant for love cealessly
and happily perusing every
hook and cranny of life waiting
for you to grant my soul
love asylum.

" 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
