Bobbie Othigo Poems

A stranger’s smile never was sweeter
Or timely as yours was,
I had to smile back,
Every force beyond
...

Often I see on you
Drops of the silver dew,
Scattered generously about
Your glorious hue,
...

Once I sat to think
Of that day when my verses
Will no more rhyme,
That day my ideas won’t link,
...

I conversed with the wall,
Asked him keep my secret well,
What I tell you in confidence,
Shall never seep into the openness.
...

Talk them nice words to me,

That's what I need,
...

Like many cut green grass blades,
And thousands of leaves plucked from trees,
That are made to one line,
And they stretch beyond your eyes,
...

Let love flowerily flourish,
Let it beautifully bloom,
Muse over love’s loveliness,
Be care freely carried away,
...

Thief of thoughts,
Thief of sorts,
Thief of course,
Unsatisfied with my heart,
...

Words,
They assemble
And make these lines,
Each prettier than the last,
...

Woe unto those that too old grow,
Whose eyes fail to glow,
Fire of their hearts has out been blown,
In this manner
...
