uchenna nnodum Poems

I hear the honk of a horn
Amid the echo of voices.
A new day had been born
And for people to make their choices.
...

One sunny afternoon,
Just as i bade a friend 'see you soon'.
My long shadow on the sunny ground met that of a long tree
As i looked up to it, i saw an unknown beautiful bird flying free
...

I always thought that the strong can withstand
For as they trample with great strength above the sand.
No! I am wrong, just as my flesh lust
And will one day under the earth turn to dust
...

When i look up in the sky
I hope that the stars would come down
See the seas so dry
And my people on a journey to the profound town
...

Claps and cheers and all that were
Before my eyes i saw over there
What seemed to be good
But i misunderstood
...

What wonderful actors we are
All scenes at one time we act perfectly
Scene after scene, acts come before acts.
And we the minors take it from the script
...

Through the quick sand of this life
Aching thighs, broken smiles
Hands trembling, legs mourning
Sloes sore from stubs and thorns-
...

Shall i scribble for a thousand years
Pour on pages an ocean of ink
Till my phalanges clench
Of the foul plays that stinks more than the skunk
...

In the silence of the mid day
When lethargic bones bask in the sun of vacuity
I hear a voice, a young voice
That punctures the vacuum of silence
...

Here I am simply writing,
Writing a poem, I believe.
People write when they feel loved,
When they feel touched.
