David Olughu Poems

Aaaaaaah! ! !
Were the screams of my labouring mother
Even in the presence of consolation and encouragement
Her problems remained dormant like a rural settlement
...

Who is she,
that can see beneath my smiles,
spotting the pain and anguish in my heart?
...

I, hers am.
Her cheek lay bare on my desolate palm
My thatch heart,
her home.
...

The way you talk
Like an orchestra of singing birds
Glorious and bewildering
...

Birthday girl
Snow once again fell
Or it's just your beauty that sent shivers down my spine
As my heart longs for the day I'll call you mine.
...

Fire and ice.

Like fireflies
and tingling skies
...

Love is a free bird
Let it out of the cage

Love is a raging fire
...

A lad; imperfection.
I'll keep my eyes on Him; perfection.
Till I can blatantly proclaim, I'm_perfection.
...

If your heart only fears
Teach it to strengthen

If your eye only tears
...

Locked in a cage so sinister, puppets in a dark and minacious circus; the world.
Overhauled by a plethora of inauspicious minds of vile thoughts.
Villains of each other and foes of one another.
Endangered by their wrathful schemes against even their own brothers, to plunder and put asunder.
...
