Emery Okwakpam Poems

When night falls, everywhere quieter,
The seas calm, the roads all to one’s shelter,
Out of the bloom you stroll out with that buzzing swagger,
Tiny mosquitoes, causing more harm than a soldier’s dagger.
...

Sin is a bad thing
Thwarting normalness,
Slowly it manifests
Leading away,
...

When night falls and dawn ensues
Thoughts come and go; opportunity misuse
Little leaves me wondering
The chronology of deeds and hopes unabashed
...
