Martins Akhoeneto Poems

Homecoming was fun, awesome
But now so tiring and worrisome
In the year when trees made music.
Radiating the grandeur of glorious heaven.
...

Falling tears, like leaves in seasons
For how many more years
Shall you shed those tears,
All for memories beyond reasons
...

Year in, year out you come
In great delusion, an epic interest
Packed in vans of delusive saboteurs,
With pledges, both milk and in honeycomb
...

A time will come,
Real shall it become,
A day of dry rains
Against your early bargains.
...

Black nights, blindfolded to heaven
Anchored beneath, a steel hell
Everything ill deed is given
A crescent moon bade farewell,
...

Fly away O! Egrets
In a myriad of beaut design
Brighten up the blue skies
In great clusters of whites.
...

You will never know how many smiles,
And how many aches that piles
Down within; in flooded tears
As memories awaken, - of barred years.
...

You said she was down to earth
Mannerly bright and free from graven dirt
You lied, yes! you lied
Because a brimfilled of negatives she hides
...

in the heat of torture
craving it's soothing peace
can I for once find savour
with this forbidden past?
...

you came to me again
now and each night with a heavy face,
yet each time of your visit
I seem to be deaf and unrepenting
...

Years of cheers, coming often,
May we see in these years
Always and in mind solace.
Yet, seem scattered in the mind
...

If pain turn gain again,
It will only appease hates
And those dying lumps of wane
That means nothing now but paper-weights.
...

never again

will I raise grimy dust
as those that now lie
...

when karma strikes
thunderous blast of crashing volcanoes
will rumble down
within your mind
...

I can recall the rumbling rust,
the turmoil of chill cold carnages
and the sacred sacrifice of love
you gave in exchange for your life.
...

Now i travel home, not in bands
But as a lone soul,
Who refused to fall to brutal slains
Of time, of rage and war tool
...

The Best Poem Of Martins Akhoeneto

Homecoming

Homecoming was fun, awesome
But now so tiring and worrisome
In the year when trees made music.
Radiating the grandeur of glorious heaven.
And the world began in my father's yard
Now the old man is an expectant
Boast of his sweat and gains
Now life had traveled back to town
And the place of solace, turn boredom
The farms are outgrown by spear grasses
These few years of my treasure hunt.
Joy of communal call faints and died
Not as the very youthful days
When the strong feet of mum and dad
Were still planted on this earth.
