OPWONYA JOEL ONEN Poems

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.
...

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
...
