Emeka Joseph Nnakwe Poems

I was in love when you are not
I'm weary of mine when you are
You called when I'm too busy to hear
I reach out when you are weary of my species
...

Cry it out!
The shame, pains and sorrow
You don't need holding it no more
Cry and let the masters see you in pain
...

My life is filled with boundless opportunities
The one to grab and one to let go
Running a race to meet the chase
Making a hale to while the rise
...

Soak my head in wishes
Wishes of how it could have been
Yea, how perfect we could attain
Wishes of how we could have love
...

When I was younger
Daddy often emphasize the need for hardwork
IYA ATI BABA RISIKA do indulge on good virtue
Good virtue pays they say
...

Back and forth
I plan and pray
Everyday taking her epic qualities
I love
...

The wounds
The pains
The scars
Far beyond the cold nights
...

Imperfections of our loin greed
Protected by greed of vanities
Lust of the eye and pride of life they say
Breaching the accursed taboo
...
