Desmond Idiagbonya Poems

Pain and pleasure are the glow that garnish the globe.
Oh my pain, you have brought a bond that has knitted all my friends and family together.

Oh my pain, I tried to take a painkiller knowing that you may not be a pleasurable experience to me, but you have built my pleasure in ways that pleasure alone simply couldn't achieve.

As the winter blows her Bellow wind
and the whole street filled with snow-white balls. Then you came calling at me from the deepest part of the ocean tides. Indeed nature is beautiful, like a tapestry on the wall.

No one could hear your calls, except those that truly appreciate your awesomeness in its highest tranquility. Deep calleth deep from the innermost core of the soul even in the period of solstice.
...

Mirror on the wall, mirror on the wall, they say you are the reflection of what and whose I am. But you reverse the direction of me in an equal yet opposite angle from which I stand gazing at me.

Mirror on the wall mirror on the wall, you have become my true teacher. You applaud me when I'm right and you correct me when I'm wrong. I can now see in you what I'm truly made of inside of me.
...

Oh my dying Mother Earth
You existed long before the creation of mankind. You became a mother to the entire planets because only in you is the source of life. You are the home to all kinds of life.

You gave man everything he needed to survive and provide food for him, yet you were never found in a state of niggardliness.
