Dickson Wasake Poems
I am the path of the light breaking into the dark deep of the waters,
The whisper of the wind in the Garden of Eden,
The buzz of the lover bees in the ark of Noah,
The tears of salt in the eyes of Lot’s wife,
...
As i kissed you,
did you feel it?
My spirit asking you to need me,
to love me,
...
Time,
She surely has a most twisted sense of humour.
I am not Armstrong,
bobbing up and down lunar surface,
...
Every man young,
dreams of lofty grandeur,
of conquering lands foreign and alien,
and women and loot in between,
...
See Mary Lou again,
across crowded dance floor,
with another;
touching,
...
The finest always goes with the dead,
and we the grateful undead,
now dig through these bones and treasure,
with hammer and basket we probe,
...
She often complains,
to girlfriends 2 and 5,
who on this occasion of monologue,
choose to lend now familiar ear,
...
That she loved 10 and 1 before him,
or that her lips belonged to 10 and 1 before him,
did not take a morsel of sadness from him;
like Oliver demanding more,
...
Please sir stop,
Am only 13 years old,
Am not ready to become a mother,
I have science and math sums to do.
...

The Best Poem Of Dickson Wasake
A Biblical Poetic Journey (I Am Says The Poem)
I am the path of the light breaking into the dark deep of the waters,
The whisper of the wind in the Garden of Eden,
The buzz of the lover bees in the ark of Noah,
The tears of salt in the eyes of Lot’s wife,
The sound of the harp in David’s courtyard,
The sorrow of Jonah in the fish’s belly,
The light of the bright star guiding the wise men,
The call of the Messiah for all the heavily burdened,
The tongues of the apostles on the day of Pentecost,
The journey of Paul on the path to his true destiny,
And the song of the saints on the sight of our Lord’s face.
I am not he, but of him, from him and for him.
