Odhiambo Gilbert Francis Poems

The river is no more,
No flood, no splash, no roar;
A solitary portion, a king missing his throne
Kowtows to bemoan the hard fate that left him forlorn.
...

Today was not ours
Two souls plan as their hearts wish
The gods have said NO
...

Love gives you the wings
Float in the feeling my love
Float and come to me
...

You appeared, suddenly.
We exchanged fast notes
as if time would stop,
a chance would be lost.
...

Attempts at justice go boink
Peace grating down people's throats
Restrained calm, or else...
...

This tree is the province of the devil
He sits on the swing in wait for his victims
Who will defy their parents' advice
To keep away from the parlous sway.
...

Rose dear, come let us sing a song,
A song of our lives and the completeness of our union,
Of hope rising above a sea of fear,
Years of mournful numbers and uncertain desires.
...

Take these legs of mine
If your desire they define;
Leave me not behind.
...

On a calm, quiet evening
A listless soul stirs
To remember a time
Of fleeting thoughts
...

My pretty friend,
There are things about me
Regarding you
Which you know not.
...

12.

Sleep well, my love,
Take a rest now
And dream
Dream of me
...

At the beach,
on a busy weekend,
flesh more than sand is spread
Sizes and hues of bleach
...

Have I loved amiss?
Someone tell me please,
Do all happen like this,
That because of a kiss
...

The Best Poem Of Odhiambo Gilbert Francis

Silence

The river is no more,
No flood, no splash, no roar;
A solitary portion, a king missing his throne
Kowtows to bemoan the hard fate that left him forlorn.

The praises have ceased,
Joy and dreams... deceased;
Hearts that once sung with zest followed the birds to the west
Where the sun shines best and potency is confessed.

In life's final lap,
Useless is your trap,
No gay yarns for excited ears nor tissue for cheery tears;
The end of affairs often times doom declares.

Yet, in the stillness,
In love's loud silence,
Listen, listen and you will hear your heart beat a tune so dear,
Bringing back to you cheer and making fears disappear.

Be good at loving,
Be good at loving;
Love yourself first before for others you grow a thirst.
If this rule is reversed, when they leave you'll feel so cursed.
