henry igbinedion Poems

In a sudden spasm
She convulsed, fury vented
Hillside, slope side,
All tumbled in a cataclysm of shredded timbers
...

Caressed at night
By the moon’s gentle beams
Hugged warmly at noon
By the Sun’s infinite fluorescence
...

Those far off days,
Dreams were dreams.
Our hearts heard,
The incantatory chants of our oracles
...

A crashing spasm,
Birthing surreal silence
Dark, dank, decrepit blackness
Trapped!
...

Like a bird pregnant with fibroids
The stricken eagle,
On wounded sinews
Cragged the mountain top
...

Behind jealous clouds
Peeped the Sun at shrouded Earth
Star crossed skies paled sickly as
Pompous stars hid their glitter
...
