Vincent Onyeche Poems

Wow she smokes
Her love a curse
Hot, deceitful tender voice
Flowing to prominent at all cost
...

Remember before now
A place you’ve been and seen
Never forget yesterday
It’s a noun; though no more
...

Hey, cheer up brother
Least it hears or sees
The dead has done
And seen it all
...

Ah babyish ones; learn by heart
Discovering and destroying the household chattels
Commit to memory, we will one day be aged 
...

Ngozi of all traits, poise, willpower and heartiness
Greatness precise to attitude, victorious she is
Nevertheless, behind her shine is a first-rated husband, don’t forget the kids
...

Born in time when I seldom see the hazy heydays
My chest and calf are flattened and so lazy
I am not a shepherd to the calf who jogs after his mothers’ breast-milk
The times of farming against famine are no longer mine,
...

In life, there is love
Not even the horns of Aries the ram
Or those of Taurus the bull
Is well-built to uproot love
...

Her underwear is like Venus-fly-trap
Boys’ even girls are insects
The banquets table never empty.
...

Walking by the bush part
I saw a young lady
Heads down; fixed rigidly at a spot
Crying so bitterly
...

My great moonwalker
He that I dread
Icon I dream
A black in white skin
...
