Neso Onyeuche Poems

I want to watch your cheerful face smiling from across the room

I want to see your vivid eyes
in which a wild desire blooms
...

I sat beside the window sill
and watched the world turn gray
I didn't know what I should feel
so I just looked away
...

I am patient

I wait for things to fall apart
so patient, I anticipate
...

I cried above the sink today.
my tears could not be found
for they had joined themselves
with soapy water, stolen now.
...

I am 'not enough'
but I won't let that bring me down
I won't let them see me frown
I won't let them steal my crown
...
