David Ugba Poems

There is an unknown God
Who saw your shame
When you were pushed down and stripped naked
Who watched in pains
...

If I have led you out of dream
Into the path of painful love
Forgive me.
If I have burnt your script
...

The bell has chimed long in wonder
On earth’s ponderous esplanade

Yet I bear my injuries
...

A new sun
Bought with blood
...

Do not look back at Sodom
The city of foolish questions
Where mysteries are burnt
Before the Angels of love
...

He holds my hands and leads me
To the musicality of his love.
He codes my sound to his life
As sea birds coo to their seas
...

Is there anyone amongst us
To raise the oval laughter of happy souls
...

At the eleventh hour
We left to where we'd seen your tongue beautiful sun

Clothed with orange - splendour
...

Ask not when, man
Wrapped in dumbness
Along an endless day
Ask not when, man
...

We have come back to you
O hub of creation
