Oge Nwankwo Poems

Electricity...
It makes you think of lightbulbs and lightening
Bolts, zaps, an utterly intense feeling of fire
Except without freedom 
...

To know me is to love me
So why do you act like you don't?
Know me, only then will you love me
Love me, only then will you know me
...

Earthquakes hold me up
While I fight for air to breathe
It's almost game time...
...

Misty, wet feet under the rising sun
Waves of thoughts collide
One with the other
...

Never have I seen such elegance
Like a ladder softly laid against the side of a skyscraper
My eyes climb their way up to Their glossy eyes
Eyes that burn into the skies with unwavering pride
...

Take me with you when you go
To meet better times ahead
Remind me again where they are
Better times are hard to come by
...

I think about it both night and day
Floating in a land of smiling bliss
No thoughts to fight for right or wrong
All else was abyss to this land of bliss
...

Reality...
Reality is this
I am cursed with you Dream
Cursed to wake and sleep with thee
...

I forgive you
I forgive you for your disguise
And seemingly enacting the emblem of bliss
I forgive you
...

I can barely explain this tingling sensation
The lack of attention when you're standing by
There are twinkles in my eyes
I'm twirling my toes
...
