Obinna Kenechukwu Eruchie Poems

(From the Painting of John William Waterhouse)

In rose twists her rear red hair goes,
In rich patterns her green gown flows,
...

To tell
Something
Wonderful
...

I'm beamed so by blaze fixed for grace due
With love felt, how it charmed me pick to
That sent in pure fine bloomed to fond pleased
Warmth, so deep and well to draw whole urge
...

Waves rushed
Shores brushed
Sun lit
Day hit
...

Heartened went the air across the glade.
The night cool, you whose loveliness made
To reveal heaven's harmony played
Bright as dawn where joy's rays does not fade.
...

Time, on your fins aeonian over space
holding, loosing, taking back events passed
through your units-each marching on a face
of twelve.
...

Did know not he his wife
Eyeing his heart
To shelter death.
...

The poet arranges wit
To engrave a voice fit
Beautifully well to hit,
The mood to transform lit
...

What do I scribe deep upon of wood the slab?
A verse to apply that does of notes sweet purr
To lure in thoughts-hearts to make out to be lost
What seem to arouse them, like too good a dream
...

His eyes beguiled,
From you he throbs
With waves of joy
Like dawn's cool air.
...
