Elorm Dogbo Poems

in school,
when i saw you
i intuited i have found
my lost world in you
...

in my definition, it is
a season
like this
as i will show
...

In pains,
You gave me life
In enormous care
Like the egg
...

looking at my origin,
please do not tell me
to go to the army
forget about the structure
...

THE PLEA
Assist me to resist
All evils that exist.
Drown me into contemplation
...

Alone,
That’s what I’ve always been
With no one to push me
When I climb
...

I do not know how to call
The colour of a dry gourd
But that is the colour of her skin.
Her eyes full of love
...

No one would understand me
As a simple Nubian
Enough is what I gain
And I never envy what others gain
...

It takes stages
And sometimes ages
For things to be done
...

As I come here to cry
All the time
What would let me forget
The pain that I get
...
