Tony Adah Poems
I was at night asleep
On my creaking bed
And a sack of dreams
Tore upon my head.
...
The veterinarian
Is the only doctor that
Eats his patients
He devours chicken breast
...
A day after the first day
Of the new year I am caught
Violating my new year resolutions
In my sleep the dream is thick
...
Gun is not the
Only weapon of war
Starve them
Close the airport where
...
The sound of war
Is the sound of death
War ruins the world and war ruins man
The ambience of creativity
...
I have volunteered
To be a witness to the truth
And nothing but the truth
But the truth sours
...
I wonder why
The neighbourhood
Dogs yowled at the middle
Of the thick night
...
From the hills of the east
the sun unmasked the dusk
Through the window the tree stood still
waiting for the wind
...
I want to tell
The whole world
That I am thirsty
And I don't just want water
...
A window lingers in the galaxy
There man leaks and comes
A birth so great to bear
And so happy to beget.
...
No one knew the colour of Adam
Or that of his wife, Eve
Twosome forerunners of the world
...
We swotted at night
Read the pages of our books
With the dim blaze of candlelight
To find our feet on this part of the earth
...
My eyes overflow with tears
And I am weeping bitterly
Night and day
Not that I have lost a dear one
...
That day all their grips
Will loosen
And that which they claim
The world will take
...
I do not know what is new
About the year
The trees remain dusty
And yellow like the setting sun
...
The winter breeze blew
And the cold air threw its stream
Of chilled mist upon our shoulders
And rang in our ears
...
The cat is sitting
On a mat
Suddenly it senses
Some movemeant and
...
A soldier's morale was killed
Just like his enemy by the dearth of munitions and food
His mettle had gone
The only motivation left in the war stricken soldier
...
The shadow of the wind
Passed by the empty plastic bottle
Lonely as it stood on a short wall
It fell down noisily in the quietude
...
I am walking up the road
And seeing all the variegated bushes
With dews cooling my feet
I am in love with its colours
...
The Best Poem Of Tony Adah
A Lost Dream
I was at night asleep
On my creaking bed
And a sack of dreams
Tore upon my head.
I cuddled them and
At the crack of the dawn
I remembered but one
And when I took it in my hands
It jumped and flew away
Into the valley and the hills
Where a rainbow germinates
And blooms like a rising summer sun.
As close as I thought I could touch the rainbow
It fizzled away and I lost him
As I lost my dream
Where is this dream?
That gave me a red herring
At death's door that I stood knocking
So that I give him his humble pie
For the prognosis of falsehood
Now that I am alive and cheerful
To tell the dream.
