Edwina Aleme

My city, my town
The day u were birthed
No one regretted
...

With her beauty, like a supermodel
she sweeps you off your feet.

Like the CID,
...

I drifte into this day
and suddenly realised it's valentines day
I pondered upon how many valentines day
i have spent...
...

An open heart is given from birth
recieving everything without a grudge
it stands to believe, doesn't protest
answering every question honestly.....
...

Loneliness, oh! Loneliness
Lonely in the deepest sepulcher
Of our hearts….
...

As an uninvited guest
alongside the whisperer
not minding who was there
you showed fury and anger,
...

Poetry, symphony
love is in the air...
out of my house, looking
listening to the birds sing
...

I am
where do i begin?
out of a cocoon, i slide
relish as i guide
...

Arise o! fellow countrymen
Arise and array yourselves i splendour
come and carry this weight of armour
and fight for your space o! countrymen
...

Remember the good times
and the bad times we shared,
you were so calm and caring.
...

Creeping slowly into my thoughts
you got me free and open to express
your freedom blossoms i race
through the streets of my mind,
...

oh! young lady
what are you thinking?
you want to climb the social ladder,
wanting to be like cindy crawford, naomi campbell,
...

A woman on her knees
tears in her eyes
wanting and asking
when she would concieve,
...

Looking beyond
I see the future
Not knowing where my
Rising will fall on
...

Chasing the wind
Is like chasing shadows
You’d never know why you are shallow
Your thought encompass you
...

What democracy?
An act meant for supremacy
Those arrows pointing toward reach…
As others try to make it breach?
...

Life, like a dream never goes away
Life, like grief hoping to fade away
Its actions, very swift
And never slips away
...

Watching the moon
As it shines…..
Listening to the crickets
As they chirp…
...

The pantomime dancer,
Like the pianist, playing sweet symphony
Imagery comes to play
As one on a mission to sway.
...

From out of my window
looking at the sun rise
its' light blinding me,
taking a bold step,
...
