Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Labyrinthian Dusk: Dark nights reveal strength.

Beautiful. It's a reminder of English classics - a combination of elegy and free verse. You did well!

To anyone going through one thing or the other, i wrote this poem this evening to encourage myself and them. Kindly drop your review. Thanks 




"The night is long and thick 
So thick that razors could not part
 like the giant Elephant's tusk, 
I was led to the hollowed path
In The Labyrinthian Dusk 

Fading rays of  elders torches scares my bones. 
Their backs announced my chaos.
"It's a long night coming" whistling cold Whispers. 
Flooded dark buries my identity
Leaving me with imaginary vision of the unknown.

The beastly roars near the coast
The whirlwind i can't see
Perhaps, the ghostly horrors
Maniac preponderant lions want shares of my meat


Shall i ever see dawn?
Shall i squint to bright light of sunup? 
Shall i frown at the cockrows of daybreak? 
Mama, I concide, dark night shall reveal my strength!"
