Rex-mayor Ubini Poems

Imagination once gave me a seer's eye
To see over my unborn years,
And I saw from decades of miles,
A toothless woman from Akwa Ibom.
...

A day hued with red and white
Birth the world a light
That shineth through night
And darkness stand not to fight
...

The canoe of desire
When not godly paddled
On the stream of emotions
It drowns
...

There is a place,
Not far from where you are,
Where one is found by grace,
Amidst divine stars.
...

I love the sun
I love the sun
Because the sun would never frown
Smile is her very crown
...

How long, how long,
Shall last this cold wedlock with loneliness,
Who daily caresses you with smoky hands
That dares to freeze you,
...

I bless the spirit
The wind whose back we sit
Travelling through this planet
Where now dwell
...

My heart I bare before your eyes
Now you sing within your mind
I have seen the fool in him
From your dance I heard the rhythm
...

Sadness has found her brow
A free ground to cast its shadow
Her teeth now crouch its bloom
Behind her mouth's gloom
...

My inner eyes can see
A star up in the sky
Haunt with crowd of eyes
On their lips its name resides
...
