Uche Favour Poems
Lost in your cold cold arms
Yet your manliness endears me to you
...
There are days that I feel like I would die
So sore afraid in bed I would lie
...
I am black and referred to as a negro
Maybe it's the fault of my genotype
...
Everyone desires to be something
Each desires embedded with wanting
These wants may be good or bad
Surely these makes up a lad
...
The morning dews seem to consume me
I know not what the day holds in store
...
When I gaze at the world
Am amazed by what I see
I wonder how the earth came to be
I wonder how everything in it was spoken to life
...
MY QUADRIPLEGIC BOSOM FRIEND
My First Abecedarian Poem!
Azure skies are today
...
Meet me where the sky touches the sea
We'll chitchat, kiss and have some tea
Embrace me where the sun scorches the earth
Your touch I've long felt
...

The Best Poem Of Uche Favour
Lost In The Thick, Dark Forest
The owls hoot nearby;
The screech-owl calls;
The wolves howl in the distance;
The beetles tap and tap in an endless charade
The cicada seems like it won't give up clinging to the trees; its eyes looks lovely
The bush dog barks incessantly;
The squirrels stare inquisitively at me from the comforts of the fever tree
The ants make merry inside the whistling thorns, they seem happy as they make music
I can see the sunset now; like a baby it must sleep to awaken the next day.
I also want to sleep, but the ominous sound of fear; fear of the unknown; fear of being killed by an animal keeps my eyes wide awake but my mind slumbers
The enormous baobabs converge on me, forming a protective shield but why do I still feel insecure?
How did I find my way here? How did I get here?
I can't remember what had brought me here!
I need to go home but where is home?
I'm lost at night in a forest overgrown
I keep on walking; destination unknown; my fate have been decided
Thickets of bush engulf me;
Can hardly see anything now, it's dark yet I'm still trekking
I'm thirsty and hungry;
My legs ache, I don't want to walk anymore — just to sleep
I can hear a rattlesnake closeby;
The sound is getting closer; closer to me
How do I run? Where do I run to?
I'm walking faster now; the thought of food and thirst overtaken by the will to survive
The blackbirds are whistling now,
Calling me home, showing me the way home,
I must follow to please our kindred spirits;
My ancestors have finally smiled on me
I can see mom preparing the firewood for cooking outside the house
When she looked up to me and smiled, I knew I was home; safe and sound
I don't want to be in the forest anymore!
Favour! Favour! , my mom calls.
I stifled a yawn;
Alas! It was only a dream.

Uche Favour Quotes
Never compose a people to please; do so from the deepest parts of your hearts because that's where that inner poet sleeps and slumbers, waiting to be awakened from reverie
A poet is not a lazy person or a lazy man's job, just an ordinary man who writes extraordinary things
There's a poet in everyone, we're just too less concerned to feel it
Write me a poem and I'll sing you an anthem
You're never too old or too young to be a poet
Let your imaginations run wild when you compose a poem
