Tyovihi Terwase Poems

My little maiden two years old, just able
To tower full half ahead
above the table.
...

The wind breathe through me
it will spin round the photos on my fridge,
leaf through the pages of these books before
I read them
...

I watch them congregate
bedecked in their best
(black usurps jewel-toned
intentions)
...

Failure is ceasing to try!
It's accepting defeat
And to all you may meet
Giving voice to a sigh;
...

Dead bodies floating
in our oceans
from North to the west side of
our Nation.
...

If I could wish a wish for you,
it would be for peace, faith, and happiness
not only at Christmas,
but for the whole year through!
...

What turns men into killing machines, that blows apart lives and destroy innocent dreams? Look into the eyes of a child and may the pain that you see Haunt you as much as it haunt me.

Innocent lives destroyed by the things that they saw, In yet another pointless and brutal war.
...

We are living in
in the age rejection
a time where we see
from God a defection.
...
