Three Poems by Halimah Adisa

 



On This Account, I Rained 


These woods are decaying like age,

I can’t sit on them properly like I used to when I was a little child.

And there's just one thing I want:

Sit by the sea side to feel the breeze which binds the world as I await roses before me.

But not all girls will get them, so I made my heart on roses that couldn't be thorn.


"You can't get them while you sit by the sea side maybe after you are dead," 

Inn said, on the terrain where I rain.

Morning: A New Day


A bright day —

a fortune for living

the fulfilled life you ever wanted. 

Life full of instances,

so, you lived.


*


Dopamine


This rhythm 

rip through my ears as I 

breathe and sigh to the words which made me.

I live through the moments,

so, I triumph.
