Rodgers Ogola Poems

I will always give my love
Even as people trample on it
And treat it as filthy rags
Cause when I love
...

There's nothing poetic about human love
Cause our love is selfish
Always wanting and wanting
Never giving
...

There must be something wrong with me
For I have seen death but I did not fear it
Maybe all my pain has made me numb
When the grim ripper stared me right in the face
...

Someone once asked me what my greatest fear is
I responded with surety I'm afraid of failure
But now that I think of it with a sober mind
I've come to the conclusion that I'm afraid of fear itself
...

Afraid to love
Out in the cold
And truth be told
I cannot trust
...

A painful whisper
A dreadful murmur
In my heart a scar
From those words remembered
...

She tells me dear
Let this be clear
There's no love
If you do not 'have'
...

Listen to my heart its beating
And with each beat a moment fleeting
Cause time doesn't last too long
So with each kiss, a promise
...

Forget about the hugs and the kisses
Forget about our wild unending passion
Forget that I thought it'd last forever
Forget that I'm crying right now
...
