segun Johnson Ozique Poems

When life, better or worse becomes robotic
Automatic acquiesce to nature’s commands:
One time to wake, to eat and drink, to sleep
So I tried to redesign life my way
...

Mine was a life in mish mash haze
Till she arrived, a lone voice
That seemed more connected
Who I let in, speak to my senses;
...

Family in communion with distance dissolved
Collectively sharing snugs, snow, sun and love
Ivie, fifteen months, elevating the stir a gear
...

The spark of first-time in love is large:
The weirder and wonderful…incredible,
The brilliance the momentum; the allure
Feelings like twinkly ripple on still water;
...

Ceremonies bring out riches in gold
Outlet the poor showcase dyed bronze
But to show similarities up such so close
Attest deceit as twin to world; to living
...

Have you ever really felt truly treasured?
Feel the passion of being truly involved
With all else banished, for your pleasure
Passion that is truly delightfully déjà vu
...

Sometimes I just want to go out and fix it
Like I feel now, mad, watching them,
These unwanted tenants on my tube
Courting, felicitating me with their falsity?
...

Diminishing more,
And more,
I now have come,
To face the folly,
...

The Third world land:
Where pains in a plate of soup is pleasure
Where death is celebrated in robes of birth
Where vagabonds and vagrants find home
...

Sickly the sickle caged you,
A crooked cell the doctor quipped,
Your time here could be shrunken,
...
