Benjuzzy Okpuzor Poems

and so it came to be
in our thoughts to see
good days and merry
making, yet when in solitude
...

Dark sweating bodies
Bent forcefully, almost
In two shuffle up gang
Planks under the crushing
...

standing wetly in
the winter cold,
waiting for someone
yet to love,
...

it takes to no sin in
eating and drinking, but
soon in it we re sought
to grossness and darkness,
...

Where is my dove?
My most gentle dove,
I have been in want of
...

gone but never forgotten
was your voice so loud and
long, but you have won and
gone home, wondering in
...

Streams of sadness
flows down my cheek,
eyes tortured and
stocked in their living
...

It, s so fair as it
Fell again on the full
Moon, let's wake dianas
Soul with songs, and
...

My deemed voice in
The dark cries and
craves for help, am
Bleeding, and my
...

DARKNESS ELUDE'S ME

See the withered weeds
In my face,
...
