Oritsemolebi Eric Atie Poems

I see her
Though it be yonder
Still I kneel to surrender
As though her body renders.
...

Love oh love
What have I done to thee
That I suffer thus?
It's thee I seek
...

I watch and dream
I hope and wish;
What clan I claim?
Whose land I grace?
...

Oh how I've missed your touch
How I've missed you little droplets
Racing down from above
As though sent by the creator himself
...

My eyes shall see no more
Than I have made it seen,
Nor shall my ears yield to any tongue
That spits out to the wind.
...

Aroused by this drear state
One not deemed by faith
Nor feigned by fear
To muster such dreadful cheer
...

On and on she goes
With a shining glow,
A dark effigy of Helen
Has got me falling.
...

Give me a crown of thorns
And scourge me off my maidenhood
Wear me a ring of barbs
And bind my fingers to serve you
...
