tochukwu nwankpa Poems

Departing is such a sweet sorrow
From dunghills and ghettos
My true life i leave behind
Tears bite my eyes but i wont cry
...

you walked on the road not taken
From the time you were born
Like the shining star of David
You blazed an academic trail
...

who is a mother?
is she better than a father or brother?
she is a caregiver, lover and a comforter
a mother loves like no other
...

She is beautiful that words can't describe
she laughs and Im satisfied from my cravings
we run and dance in the rain we feel alive
I look into her eyes and see my future.
...

Men are like shadows
Moving stealthily across life
waking up at sunrise and
Sleeping at sunset
...

In our quest for fame
We loose sight of how we came
Though we were formerly lame
And looking for who to blame
...

TRUE LOVE.
True love is like a palm tree
That blossoms and flourishes all year round
With its ever green leaves
...

A woman full of wisdom
With a wide range of experience
Telling me wisdom of the ancients
Dating back to her pasts
...
