Anthony Nwosu

The day you saw
My tiny eyes
He carried me
That man in white apron
...

face cap
on a t shirt
saving his jacket
for winter days
...

Look into my eyes
And draw your love
Draw it like a tattoo
And tell me that you're single
...

The lines of character are not so stable
It twists towards the sky
Bends around the clouds
Then takes a powerful thrust towards the ground
...

We will choose this
This is God's gift
We won't lose this
Given to us not to forfeit
...

Love is honey sweet
Taste it
And have your tongue bit
...

When others were lazy
He worked crazy
Men went to sleep
But Oke osisi rose to sweep
...

When sights are rare
Too many spots commence
Dots on the road
Ugliness has spoilt memory
...

I saw you
When the breeze came to greet men
I saw you
Standing like a coronated king
...

God planted this
Every flower married a leaf
Fruits dangled in their mist
Like that between legs
...

Look into my eyes
And draw your love
Draw it like a tattoo
And tell me that you're single
...

Couples who make trouble
Quarrel a day as much twice
Come back to settle
Over a plate of rice
...

One is tempted to let it out; if not the whole, then part
The shiny sunny Doha, warm and tight embrace
A little corner gets busy with the wind, twists over
Ramping up a million sand particles
...

this is the last time
leave me alone
let me be
leave me alone
...

when blackberry
was just a fruit
and apples
looked round
...

on this stage
i will crest my name
in green
and white
...

let love blind you
so we shall kick stones
and learn
love lessons
...

i breathe in
traces of water
mixed with oxygen
right into my lungs
...

Don't take too long
The road is clear
Voices are calling on you
'Come forth'
...

Let a bird dance
To my song
Let a lizard nod
To my song
...
