Akujuobi Chijioke Poems

O desperate ants
What wisdom finds you?
You dwellers of the seas
How the horses bleeds for you...
...

The sweetness of my fingers on its strings creates
relics of fairytales;
Mermaids with dragon fiery wings, a prince & a gypsy
diving in a passionate sail;
...

A response to an unending need,
Has he come to wipe the strain of the evil seed?
Or a mere picture of a broken piece?
A clamour sung from the bowels of the sea...
...

False prophets!

Coating their words with honey,
But inside is filled with the carcasses of vultures;
They bath with the blood of the holy ones,
...

I sat to see
The beauty in me;
As the colours of reason
Set sail in waterless seas.
...

Please don't say it.
Don't say you don't love me,
That my heart melt not
That it not spill like drains of sorrow.
...

On the base of a solemn suit
Lay the basket of unripened glory;
Barricaded with gallons of deceitful insight
That startle the gods with an unending story.
...

Queued under a waterless bridge
Filed up in mobile cottages
Rows upon rows of trails;
Seeking liquidized energy.
...

How would you feel
If you knew
I still think of you?
Will you gladly smile at will
...

I'll praise you, highly exalted One
Beneath the covers of deep treasures,
Is where your presence resides,
Above the vast mediterranean you issue forth your utterances.
...
