BENT IN SADNESS
I’ll cry all the tears Many tears are worth a cry Some pains are better Is it even worth a try? You embrace away my joy Leaving painful stains on my soul Discarded like a broken toy Like acidic rain you touched me – burnt in a hole It’s foul – you corrode my smile… Continue reading BENT IN SADNESS
A LONER’S PLEA
Needing a friend who dares Who dares to know my fears What I think and how l feel One to brace me up, at the knee. One to cheer up my lonely heart When as schist ‘twill break apart One to place some smiles deep within When great sorrows seem to win. One to love… Continue reading A LONER’S PLEA
FÖRLORAD
The morning comes again. Sunlight steals into my room, Like he always does, And I awake at the robin’s song. Why does the sun’s fingers Chill the blood in my veins? Why does the robin’s melody Scratch the drums of my ear? Shall I live through this day, Stained with the ashes- From yesterday’s raging-fire,… Continue reading FÖRLORAD
DREAMING AWAY TO MY HOMELAND
I sat myself down the lane And dreamt of far away. I played with the sand, Then I built a sand castle And the thought of my sweet home came to me. Tick! Tock!! Time ticks away As the sun shines, shy. I saw the moon – Beaming with a smile, Days of the week… Continue reading DREAMING AWAY TO MY HOMELAND

Then it came, heavy, with thunderous claps So loud I could never doze off. For long, my only inheritance, a dog… Continue reading MY LEAKY ROOM
TWO HEARTS (a conversation)
I. HIS WORDS (by Felix Nnamdi Egbomuche) Wrapped in the arms of your thought I try to visualize me and you, alone in a room Sharing love words, laying blocks of friendship Doing the silly, exchanging romantic kisses But moving away from dream land And living my life in physical reality All these seem like… Continue reading TWO HEARTS (a conversation)
SHADOW OF LOVE
I’ve heard of smiling hearts that felt love. Saw people sleep and then dream of love. On my way home days aback, I met two flies discussing sweetly. Ouch, the air speaks love. What more can I say than what I see? I see love every day, but feeling it is zero. Day after day,… Continue reading SHADOW OF LOVE
WHEN (2013 World Poetry Day Poem)
When did these tears Find their way into my lines? When did this fear Creep into my song? When did I drink From the cup of despair? When did my tongue taste The bile of sorrow? I used to sing of roses And smiling sunflowers I used to know laughter And all its tender melodies… Continue reading WHEN (2013 World Poetry Day Poem)
