Michael Eziudo Poems

If I was an image in an evening classroom
I'd tell the privileged learners I'm their antonym
They have wings and can fly
But staying in this cage with a will to try
...

You came at dawn
With the zeal and energy of a young day
Promising and hoping all impossibilities to win
The world seemed a cascade of labyrinth decoy
...

Enyi m, ezigbo enyi m
I budi nwanne m ka I bu nwanna m
Enyi m onye kwo m n'azu ukwu m na-eru ala
Kee nke i meere m I no na-akoghari
...

Ụwa m, ụwa m e, ụwaọma my Praise
Yes, the prayer in my heart, the smile on my face and the praise on my lips
Once upon a time one was it all
But like the dawn after a cold night you arrived
...

I am the womb that gave you life
The shield from harshness from uncanny uncertain destination
And you had to breathe by my breath
And bone up by my bones
...

Through the hedges and rough edges
Through the thorns and the pines
This rose that should be gotten
And held high and in all esteem
...

I got here
Here where I once lived
And yesterday is not here
It went
...

Good night everyone
If love cares let it find me
For on my personal pursuit
I'm yet to hit the spot
...

You are the song that I sing
Then when my heart get excited at mere promises
When all roads lead to the distance ever longed for
When the sun walks away
...

I am a star yes I know
A star that does not recognise his fans is that one a star?
Soon, his source of light will deem
...
