bernard ogalo oduor Poems

I have always
Wanted to say this
To sing a sweet and special song
To my darling mama
...

Yesterday-
Just yesterday-
You said to me 
That you were fine
...

A year I have known you
One year you have gone

You made me gay in that year
...

The voice is distant
Times are flying away
And eyes-
Too-
...

Times
My love
Make me sick
I do not know why
...

Remember the first day
You saw me at the bay
You wanted to sing, jump and play
Clear eyes, a sweet smile; you were gay
...

The rain and thunder outside
Remind me of her; I beside
When she wanted me outside
...

Hold my hand
When you suspect that I will fall
Call me softly
When you sense that I am lost
...

In the land where my umbilical cord was buried
In the land where my mother was married
There; my dreams were buried
For in that land
...

When you left in the morning
Why didn’t you say that you won't be coming?
When I told you to buy me a gift
Why didn’t you say there you won't get
...
