Patrick Utitufon Poems

She is like a tree planted by the waterside
That yields her fruits in its time and tide
That never ceases to bloom through the climes
And flourishes even in the hardest times
...

Little by little
Like a canoe in the deep
Life sails on gently
...

Gentle winds of the East
Take me to my Mother`s breast
Let me on her bossom rest
Even near her blessed chest
...

Has he who enthrones no power to dethrone?
Earthly glory never lasts.Its state
Is inconsistent like seeds sown
And be the watchman, be wise! No power perpetuate
...

Of the first man's insipience, Man earthwards fell
Lo, through one Man's valour mankind infallibly rise
From perpetual demolition through the Gates of Hell
Into eternal ecstasy of the promised Paradise.
...

Whosoever gaze upon this sullen sage
Of mine: hearken unto my barren voice!
Remember that life's like a voyage
In a sailing vessel anchored to sordid vice
...

NO.1
Let this remind you of me
When in yonder gone I be
That once you embraced a man
...

If men were infallible
And all our weaknesses unknown
And our nature were predictable
Should you call me your own
...

How can I belie of my conscience
Had Love's ambience been of no essence?
Or could my deeds be mistaken
For a paradox of thrift undertaken
...

Can I see a child in pain
Restrain myself for want of gain?
Can I see a friend in grief
Not seek for his quick relief?
...
