Amos Ojwang' Poems

In your heart, so between, in your nerves
I build my hut, so let’s spin, this love of halves
In your blood, so within, this love of might
In vast flood, so between, without any plight
...

After that long bustle and hustle
She walks to me awaking the mistake
That was already rolling in her eyes
She jeered in a blatant style
...

At the wedding ceremony
As the groom broke into the cake
Cooked of a crocked chief chef
Chattering and chanting of his
...

At ease
Without haste
Comes the little beautiful girl
I now gaze to be Janet
...

They pray
I watch no miracle
No change
No miracle
...

I’m tired of poetic love
Incomprehensible love
Full of paradox
And oxymoron
...

Ding dong the bells toll
To the ears that burr in fall

Painfully it goes the bell
...

I cannot bear this pain
Yet I can’t get any gain

I’ve set my ears free
...

If everyone was born mad
Not only mad but bad
So would the world have no guard
And would everyone live in chaos and flood:
...

Of my soul I will ever believe
Only my mind will ever retrieve

What a significant revolution
...
