Roland Nkwah Cho Poems

Calmly and elegantly you flow!
Deeply my imagination you blow!
Like a kingly bed is your flatness,
Like milked-coffee is your brownness!
...

Long are their hours of labour!
Servants with no eye on the clock…
In this slow drowning aridity!
Still protesting; though no longer in tight holes!
...

You are in everyone and in everything,
Spoken of by everyone.
Your seven-lettered name evokes reactions.
Good are some, bad are others:
...

When love was ‘she’, everyone needed her!
When love was love, men enjoyed her and could die for her.
Women gave her life, and love meant love!
Children had homes, and streets had pedestrians.
...

As you go about, remember to be wise!
Love has lost its ears, and now has four eyes!
Tell her She made the world go round when she was true.
Today, it is hard not to say that she is through.
...

I still kiss you in my dreams
And dream about you when I kiss
I’ll regain you someday, it seems.
You are the only thing I really miss!
...

Out in the night so dark
I crave a moon so blue!
Wishing even lightning would spark
Just so I can see you!
...

Like a bird perches on a greening lawn in early spring,
My eyes fell on that rare beauty and cost Reason its place.
A sudden feeling it was, and a genuine feeling I wished it were.
Wishing I could slide on dust, just to pamper if I could
...

I know I don’t know much,
But I know how much I love you
I know I don’t have much,
But I know how much I owe you
...

For being Black, I am feared!
But by some I am revered.
Because I am Black explorers "Treat" me.
Since I have darker skin employers cheat me.
