Dorcas Tayire Poems

I stood
At the crossroad,
Uncertain of the life before me
And the one behind me.
...

How can I forget,
the very first day we met,
indeed it was; like the picture I saw in a dream I dreamt.
Tall, dark and handsome
...

The trumpets screamed in happiness.
The drums and guitars gave us some dancing steps
Our lips parted ways; giving in to an overwhelming laughter.
The violins and tambourines gave us some melodious tunes.
...

Anyday
Someday
One day
The pain we gain won't reign to stay.
...

In her womb, I laid
grew my hands, legs…
till I was fully formed.
Got out after nine months,
...

If wishes were fairies,
I'll fly to the future and ensure
without work,
my wishes are met.
...

I have no food.
My stomach rumbles from hunger.
My body reacts in weakness,
Sending the message of pain to my brain.
...

Different pages, different chapters; a story to render.
Tears streaming in some.
Smiles; being begged to show its' face.
...

Hope, it is; they say
what you feel for tomorrow, may.
Might happen or maybe nay,
the unwavering joy; hovering in your heart
...

Many days, singing many songs.
Playful are some,
dancing with the sun.
Singing lullabies in mysteries.
...
