James Osizimetor Inobemhe Poems

Anytime I try to solve this love in my head
My heart beats faster like its running out of my chest
I try to play my best songs to calm my nerves
The songs take me deeper, from east to west
...

Once I stayed in a very tall building
I could see everything in the world
I couldn't stay there forever
Everything I needed was out there to see
...

My day was beautiful until now
Sprinkles of sadness burst in my heart
I'm just having those questions of how
when, and why do we start
...

We've been through a thousand circles of harmattan
Plenty wind, storms and rain
Great men and kings have been slain
For good life and living we stan
...

Good nights are hard but easy
We stand in between a yes and no
Sometimes for the sake of rep or duty
We could be responsible for what we don't know
...

The streets are empty
Everyone is locked up
The birds are gone from our city
No one will dare speak up
...

I cannot think about it,
What I feel right now
But I can tell you the story
After I take my bow
...

The sun rises to my loneliness
Strolls through the day;
shining bright lights on my emptiness
Happiness is short lived;
...

Come see my farm
The seeds you planted are grown
It is still my farm
You only had it to use not to own
...
