Ezio Olubelleau Poems

Time went out a-fast,
In a dance of cock,
A time keeper thought a-cast,
He danced a-knock a rock.
...

Let me spill it out,
I know I'm not good with changes:

When hellos fade,
...

I have seen my reflection,
Dance in the shadow of nights,
A king lost his crown to thieving hands,
And a slave found his place amongst knights.
...

A boy of twelve, impaled himself,
He said to his fellow, "Life's a scam."
The elders delve, "Free thyself, "
His parents slow, "This's, a jam.."
...

Old but prime,
Weak yet strong,
A tune with which time rhyme,
Where the hearts be-long.
...

Slay and fall,
Wound and bawl,
Bleed and fade,
Slash and wail.
...

Imagine
A wood carver
With arms of gold,
Chiseling through woods
...

She will not hear,
No matter how I call.
I reached for her,
But she drifted,
...

No longer
Do I speak to you.
I have outgrown your lies,
Your sweet, honeyed fairy tales,
...

In the solitude of my bed,
Thoughts drift—
Soft murmurs threading
Through the silent night.
...
