Paul Ogbuigwe Poems

Oh moon! Remember me.
Look favourably on me before my time is done.
Show me who my love will be,
So my heart can cease its lonely mourn.
...

Seven billion souls wandering across five hundred million square kilometres,
Some with purpose and others without.
Pattering feet creating a chaotic cacophony.
A butterfly flaps its wings and thousands drown.
...

I have seen Love.
It is one half holding the hand of the other,
Face adorned with the smile of contentment,
Two souls seeking nothing from no other,
...

There's no friend like whisky
No place like the bar
No travelling companion
matches the hip flask
...

Is this what I wanted?
Fortune's cup poisoned by regret
Dreams realised, hope forsaken
...

Come to me in my dreams,
And bathe me in laughing streams
Of memories long forgotten,
Before my heart was rotten.
...
