venessa ambrose Poems

I am an african writer
with the melodious lyric
flowing rivers of endless music
with words filled banks
...

On sighting those long black legs
I rearranged my skirt
To display my graceful curves
Of pure african blood
...

In that illusion,
The celestial choirs sonorously chanted,
Giving symphony to the heavenly dancers,
The eager onlookers smile at such display of glamorous nuisancy,
...

Have you seen Mr dreams today,
He canvassed through the villages earlier,
Melodiously visiting the male and female folks alike,
Delivering his bundles to all,
...

The noisy mothers
Endowed their single maidens with Ashebi and gele
Swinging there cracking waistline
To show forth to their young the ancient choreography of our aging tribe.
...

If tomorrow brings a life with out you, then let time freeze in its sand
And its blade forever halt!

If tomorrow brings a life without you, then I will savor the last bit of our parting kiss, immortalized by the yearns of my bleeding soul
...

I am dexterity
I refer to a race
a race above the rat race
Rat race forged by coeval lust
...

By the sunny nights
The tiny ants gather their tithe
Scrambling a feast
For the days when the roaring rainy beast
...

Why do I sense you at every corner, and all turns?
Why does the scent of you,
Still trail me?
Why is all I see your shadow,
...

Its in auction again,
My most priced piece of jewel,
The only crystal ball that is indefinite,
I want to sale it and yet keep it.
...
