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
...

His steps, so true
Never changing, ever new
Never failing, always coming through
...

I tried abstaining
Those I called friends warned me against it.
At first I didn't want to venture into it; I hated it.
I disliked the people I saw in that act.
...

Eyes, stark red.
Lips muttering words unknown.
Nose twitching as I sniffle cataarh after cataarh.
Ears peaked out like an antenna.
...

Valorous in mind and being,
Inspite of hope unseen.
Committed to his commitment.
Tireless unlike a relenting quaker;
...

I broke your heart,
Doesn't mean mine didn't break too.
Our relationship fell apart,
Doesn't mean I chose to leave you.
...

In my father's house,
Everyone will be priceless jewels.
Never empty
Like the ever filled Jew wells.
...

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

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.
...

A tale of two
One of love that's pure and true.
A friendship new,
it grew,
...
