Vincent Onyeche Poems

Lies are lemonades
In the galaxies of time,

The truth taste like limes;
...

This life is so frosty
Illusions make it hot,

Dry, wet, tough and dusty:
...

You once had me, as a knight
Behind your shining armour,

But now I am an aluminium foil
...

I know of an African
From a beautiful clan,

Who makes the Angels
...

In a deep noiseless dark
I did hear all they spoke
Effortlessly, then I woke;
Floating on a gracious flake.
...

Why are you bothered
About a dying branch?
Animals are replaced in its ranch.
...

Poetry is in all and sundry
From the moment of entry
Into eggs, bumps and wombs
Till placenta is discarded by midwives.
...

I am on the cliff of lingered breathes
As soon as the guts are lost
Every piece has its flashbacks;
Calories, and glories blocked.
...

When sailing
In the rivers of life,

Expect it all
...

My love for you
Has not been told,
In songs of birds
Or even by toads,
...
