Joshua Nnachi Poems

I looked with blinding eyes at a white flower wilting
Then I remembered your name dying on my lips.

These tiny droplets of salty rain remind me I have been a dry land;
...

You might have no food
Money
Clothes
Houses...
...

Again, these moments haunt me
A solemn smell of weedy sin
Smoking with forgiveness, and petulance.
...

A deathless seedling
Sprouting from the womb of Earth:
The sun will spot you.
...

Mother:
A golden ray of sunness;
In you I see seven thousand reasons to live.
...

I'm a nesting bird in flight bearing dreams of tomorrow
Coursing through deafening winds with wings aright
Blinding ghoulish orbs, keen as knights, still as night
...

Don't pretend; you feel the pains
That supreme bloodflow
Surging through your veins.
...

1.
i'm passing through this path again
where we stopped to look each other in the eyes.
we smiled, seeing something different in them.
...

The world's not always black or white
For the sky lies so wildly, so wide
And we birds fly to and fro
...

Just in my little pony friendship
(Zephyr's whisper soft and chilly)
Dancing to my keyboard's tunes
(I sit at the backyard, bare-skinned)
...
