Poetry by Kunle Okesipe

Music
You chafe the soul of silence With a refrain of blue tracings Music dance is a carnival of the moon Without a rim of black A candle song, Vein of light’s ivy feeding on silence Dressed in gowns of rainbow The silver that the eagle dreams In her concert of featherglow The evening that the day dreams In her puberty of noon Green dive of leaves Beyond the memories of weight In a blend resonating silence With no string of sound Music is the silence of soul Entwined with windglow |
