The sun threw its rays in the day <br />Touched my nape but neglect to warm the Me. <br />Dewed it is now that its late <br />Too many of its ray I tend to feel. <br /> <br />The moon get brighter than ever, <br />Too much I began to wander. <br />I could see much from afar yonder <br />May all night be like this, forever. <br /> <br />In the moonlit noon rays touches my heart <br />Out here my feet on the cold earth <br />Near a river creek <br />Longing for relief and peace. <br /> <br />I see the water stirs <br />From a point out of the still <br />The sudden flutters like as being <br />Is this my beckoning? <br /> <br />Shall I find a dome to hide? <br />Alas, out of the water a saw arise <br />A monster I thought <br />Will it chase if I run? <br /> <br />I saw it thrives for life <br />But I'm not free of harm <br />I'd fetch Our Pa who might lend a arm <br />This saw-fish has ruined my sneaky night <br />Be it whale, it will bleed a lake tonight <br />It took the wrong turn, and found its white light <br /> <br />Here again by the river bank <br />Certain times as years has passed <br />Sun still smite my nape <br />I am yet to be another free negro slave <br />All I have is a faint smile on my lover's face <br />And a saw-fish tooth as a necklace.<br /><br />Prince Korede Abiodun<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/at-creek-in-the-silver-spangle-night/
