Imafidon Mac Henry Poems

you gave me your words
and I hung them onto my chest
like a rosary I worshipped daily
you promised me
...

My love, I have tried to find a love as you
But thoughts of you won't go away
I searched through a love so pure and true
But forgetting you can never be faraway
...

life is a bird with broken wings
that cannot fly into the sky

life is a barren land
...

A pitiful bird hooting
humming tunes of gloom
perches on the fence of my house 
broken, famished and toothless
...

I don't know how to say it:
I have hunted for a love as you...
but no one has your rhythm
I have crossed through many waters
...

I'm the poor lad,
You once mocked,
With no hopes to hold,
I was the bat beaten by rust-reeking rains,
...

We have been fooled by 'demon crazy'
Nurtured by same old voices rocking high waves,
Our children injected with their syringes,
Their seats covered with deceit;
...

And when I finally come
to the end of this road
weep if you must
but don't be drowned
...

she shines like a jewel
a jewel of polished silver
she smiles like the morning sun
that gleams gemstone on water
...

Hope, the light that takes away,
All shadows in the dark,
Like the top of the ladder,
For the bearer to bear,
...
