Adams Elizabeth Oyarese Poems

Like the River Nile she flows with food and culture
With natural resources and unrefined treasure
Nurtured and moulded by noble ancestry
With such quality and beauty of the ebony
...

I looked in the eyes of my fear
And felt its existence no longer
Sometimes facing the unknown
Makes it less a wonder
...

What is my sin never done before? what is my sin that won't be done some more
is it adultery, theft or murder
Hasn't it been done in Sodom and Gomorrah
It would still be done even by my son
...

Would you let me go hunting again?
Would you?
For my tender arms will be abused
By the wants of many foxlike men
...

If someday the tables turn
And i live a life of endless scorn
If my loved ones choose to leave
And their affections to another give
...

Timeless is the peace you bring
In Autumn, winter, fall or spring
A loving melody shall i sing
The very day i wear your ring
...

A whim of adventure
With a glint of gray
Enveloped in nature
Is life's capricious way
...

I spoke of the monster that bit me
And the world stood against me
How can u be so profane?
Was the question I received
...

If you are lucky enough to find love my son
Cherish and secure it, give it a home

There is no point to grow what you will not own
...

Forgiveness is but a show of self gratification
Portrayed by a deceiver to escape condemnation

To showcase self a being of virtue and righteousness
...
