pere isaac afezu Poems

It was the cool of the year
Every single day has calm sun
The gentle breeze swayed the branches
And comes the thought of an ending passage
...

On the first page of our story
The future seemed so bright
How else can I be sorry?
That we had that fight
...

The trees have gone sour
The man has run mad
The king has lost power
The flag is now sad
...

Before this Africa
The confused fertile cry of
A fertile mother pleaded the
Habits of a familiar visitor
...

Should the bowels of the earth
Bring forth golden stream
And to fishes a new birth
And the hawks afraid to scream
...

Consequence of the season
Hath deprived thee thy extravagance
And made you frozen
To doubt your stance
...

Again shall the yearnings begin
For your blurred grace or disgrace
Now our deeds are a sin
We beg for a new face
...

It is night, and the moon
Shone on my window with its
Silver cloth. My mind race
Back to then when we were
...

The temptation from the sea
Swallowed ignorance
The temptation from the forest
Swallowed quest for balance
...

When it is dawn
And frogs spawn
Life is again born
But the snakes are to scorn
...
