BUZZ GRATIFICATION Iâm âpassionutsâ about you When I think of you I feel rejuvenated When I see you after a long day my heart dances in a frenzy over the sight of you Thoughts of feeling you with all of me as we lay the night away is a constant repetitive joy, like a child winding up his favorite wind-up toy The mission at hand is to be as one It's like having a constant high school crush that heightened foolish rush in the effect you provide unexplained and hard to hide I canât deny this vibe, so I will let it continue to take over my thoughts; it tells me of no decline
Whispers of A Soul- Poems, Prose and Thoughts by Toyin Sebastien Ajimati contains over three dozen short works touching upon many subjects. For example, "Aging Avalanche" speaks about your body's response to aging - less firm and gray hairs.
Some poems express love, while others are more on the dark side.Â
"Assumed Attributes" touches upon how people look at someone with disgust. No matter how many good deeds they do, people see and judge them by their outer shellâa sad but true fact.Â
There's poetry talking about how technology has impacted the world and how we are consumed and driven by our technological devices. That's true. We connect with people, get information from it, and (of course) watch endless videos and play games on it. The author states that technology is helpful, but it also hinders us at the same time. This is also true. Technology has allowed haters to converge more easily. It's permitted monsters to form and act. It's created the darkness (dark web) where evil resides.
Remember, I said the author also spoke of love. Some poems were more romantic than others. Case in point, "Constant Catering" sounded like something a lover whispered in their partner's ear in a romantic setting. It was pure seduction. While "Lingering Lust" gave off a creepy vibe. I can't pinpoint whyâjust the feeling it invoked.
Not every relationship was meant to last. "Delicious Aroma" speaks of missing the relationship before it was over. Speaks of jealousy concerning the other person moving on with another suitor. Many people can relate to this poem.Â
We all have a favorite season. Maybe it's because of the changing colors, holidays, the weather, the food, or the activities surrounding it. "Life with Seasons" is a cheerful poem about the beautiful changes of spring. It's my second favorite season, right after fall.Â
This collection varies in poetry length and intensity of content. Poems were as short as two lines long but never went over a page. As I stated above, some focused on love and passion while others were darker. The world is dark, so I expected and wanted that expressed in Toyin Sebastien Ajimati's work.Â
You don't have to be a poetry enthusiast to enjoy Whispers of A Soul- Poems, Prose and Thoughts. You just have to have an open mind and an hour or less to spare. (FYI: Poetry fills up about 50 pages.)
