Pen Anthony Poems

She says I'm the clown in her life
I make her smile when she's sad
I transform her fear and tear to a laugh
With laughter i paint her heart
...

One red
Two red
Three red
...

The villagers had never seen this before
The son of their chief had come back
After ten years in the city
But unlike others who came back rich and fat
...

Forget anything you've read
Anything you've heard too
Close your eyes
Now think
...

Alila held his picture
Next to her throbbing heart
Her eyes sparkled in the moonlight
Staring at the cloudswept sky
...

Wangu sat on her bunch of firewood
Drowning in a pool of thought
Staring down at her unshod feet
She could clearly remember
...

As cruel as can be
Is life to man
It gives you a chair
Yet forces you to share
...

It lies deep within my flesh
I just have to think afresh
My eyes sparkle with a glow
For i know i can grow
...

Their faces are expectant
Like a fisherman who's cast a rod
That a day shall dawn
When there'll be no slave to a master
...

Without doing anything
We watched as life slowly
Escaped from him
His lungs caved in
...
