Emmanuel Dika Poems

An abrupt wake
Not of discomfort
But the choke of death
And the lad is all alone
...

Not as though I wished it to happen
But I didn't fight hard to hinder
Because I sought a balance life would offer
But it didn't so I did suffer
...

A life in expression of its lie
Sought love but to get lost
Now a soul no better than a fool
Seeking what? _ Nothing
...

I knew a smile
Rose each morning
Full of grace
Giving hope
...

A farewell today
Like I would see you no more
I look up the sky
To watch you fly across
...

Here's a season I should rejoice but am sad
Excitement it was but now its chaos
A heart wants to celebrate but war gives no chance
My ear twitched to hear the guitar sound
...
