Fasika Ayalew Poems

At the confluence
Our souls converged
Like the Blue Nile and the White
Tears flowed as one
...

With coarse grain of envy and theft
Spotted across its surface
To let you fall
If evil thinkers scratch your heart
...

See saw see saw
At times high at times low
At times down at times up
At times full at times sapped
...

I try to stand yet I fall
Among many I feel alone
I try to catch, I can not reach
I try to belong, can’t find my niche
...

Life is too short
Live it to its fullest
Love, be loved
Have and give
...

From his side she was taken
Blood and flesh after breathed in
There she was
A being
...

Beyond a façade my two eyes haven’t seen
I needed a third eye to see what is subtle
I needed a third eye to perceive intangibles
The finest pillars, the foundations of being
...

I am not an angel
For I haven’t been able
To dry those tears
Tears of frustration
...

He feels good when he is with her
She feels good when they are together
She feels miserable when he is not by her side
When she is not around, he feels very bad
...

A Maze hard to exit
An alley with a dead end
A pendulum of uncertainty
That swings back and fourth
...
