Ovwigho Joseph Ovedje Poems

Your hazel green eyes
Are like woods on a warm spring day
When leaves have just unfolded
And slender branches thick with sap
...

One of your hairs fell out last night:
A piece of your life was gone without a sound.
I know a difficult day is coming,
My heart, pierced, utters a quiet cry.
...

My little one whose tongue is dumb,
whose fingers cannot hold to things,
who is so mercilessly young,
he leaps upon the instant things,
...

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
...

The only woman i ever truly cherish. Her touch and affection is far beyond words.

I am a warrior, a fighter of love, her beauty and charisma strikes me off guard.
