Ojeikpo Elijah Poems

Tell me because I am from North
Tell me because I am from South
Either East or West
We are one
...

Through every storm and sunny day,
In every moment come what may,
I will be by your side, it's true,
Forever standing strong with you.
...

Love, how vast and all-encompassing,
From the depths of passion to the heights of pain,
A force so strong, no heart can resist its pull,
It teaches us, in ways we can't explain.
...

Gentle kiss, how sweet thy touch doth feel,
A tender caress upon my eager lips,
Thy breath so warm, thy passion doth reveal,
In thee, my heart forevermore equips.
...

Widow, clad in sorrow's veil,
Your grief, a story I must tell,
For you have lost your husband dear,
And now, your eyes are filled with tears.
...

Prophets of doom, with darkened sight,
Your words of warning ring out loud and clear,
You speak of death and destruction with might,
And fill our hearts with dread and constant fear.
...

What a time of rebirth and new birth,
The Renaissance of my own blessed birth,
A land of art, music, and thriving mirth,
Where intellect and beauty blend their worth.
...

In a time of darkness, when hope was low,
And love seemed to have lost its glow,
A rebirth emerged, a new era begun,
The Renaissance of Love, its light had won.
...

Cry with me, oh daughters of Zion,
For our land is torn and broken,
Our tears like rivers, endlessly flowing,
As the enemy's words are spoken echo like thunder.
...

Cry with me oh river, let your tears flow,
As we stand together, in the moon's soft glow,
Let the pain we carry, be washed away,
In your gentle waves, let our sorrows stray.
...
