OPWONYA JOEL ONEN Poems

Can I talk?
About an Ocean
In the head of a
Young
...

Tell her my story
Tell her my feelings
Tell her about wings
Tell her about games
...

You will see it happening
Everything that was
Told in the first story
That
...

Prophet TB Joshua once said
'Do not just love'
And the congregations thought he was
Speaking in tongues
...

Oh love, look at my
Eyes and tell me
What you see
Each time I call on to
...

"TWO US AWAY"
Get me good soil from Earth
To make a sculpture
Where I will write you a
...

I have been here looking
At the new day where a new life
Will rise
...

If I can't go, I'm behind
Something is in the dark
No light was in my past days
Just look at me
...

WE WERE HERE
I knew not today
That a day of birth
When I bear pages of a living
...

SHE NEEDS YOU CLOSE
Love is more than love
Being true love, being
Real love, being blind love,
...

Most love seems young
Most love seems a game
Some love are young to love truly
...

Somebody said to me that love is circle
Somebody told me that love is blind
Somebody whispered to me that
Love is never wrong.
...

13.

Our days never hooked
In those old sunlight in the evening
Shadowing your upper teeth
...

Today got me peeping
For the book inside shelves
Looking for a pen to shed off
The emotions uncountable
...

Inside me, Mr. Self
My own self talking to me
Puzzled in galaxies of ideas
No road in front or behind
...

When the pain is painful,
The gain is gainful
To the hypocrite
When I die here, my house
...

Now, kiss that woman in rugs
And shade her house black
Going along a garbage of thugs
Why do leaders lack
...

I keep on wondering,
In the absence of your eyes
That shine like the waters of the Nile
Its moisturising flapping
...

'How much do you love me? '
'Have you seen the milky ways, ' I asked
'How much do you love me! ', she asked angrily
'Having seen them, that's how much
...

If loving you is a flight, we would be
Butterflies

For I can't kiss air without a heart
...

The Best Poem Of OPWONYA JOEL ONEN

Can I Talk

Can I talk?
About an Ocean
In the head of a
Young
Beautiful
Girl?
About a hand
Touching me silently?
About a voice
Too deep, soft and
Loving?
Can I talk about
Your heart if it
Can let me fall in love?
About my world
Being in
Despair and extreme
Desertification?
About how we will
Kiss ourselves
Under a thousand bosoms
Telling you
"I Love You"
Because it's the only
Thing left in our
Deserted lands
Can I talk about our feelings
The truth in my heart
How your smiles dig the
Wild eyes I carry
I need to talk to you Princess
I need to tell you my last
Words
I need to water your house
And take a walk beneath
Your heart, for I am lonely
Look I need you, I love you
You have teared me
Apart,
I will die showing you the
True love.
