Vincent Onyeche Poems

Funny how the seconds hand climbs and fall

In the house of the old pensioner who sits by the wall.
...

I hear her even voice

As comforting as rest of mind
...

Everyone keeps telling me I’m the lucky one.
What could luck be without love?
Looking at these pictures
I wonder why we suddenly dream not of each other
...

Welcome, come into my haven, teddy beer 
Taste beer, prove law wicked, and love fair
Wireless connection, one brain we share
Spend lifetime jointly my graceful dear…
...

When the moment comes in
Waypoint, rigor-mortis sets in.
War-child tell me, in life's inn
What did you do therein or within?
...

More accurate than a chronograph,
Well analysed than a spectrograph
I'm a dancing sonogram
Gush! The sound is killing
...

If love is dark and roller blind,
Why shouldn't I be a fighting light…
To outshine, harm and pluck-off the heart
Deep behind the left chest
...

Cheers to my head shaped nation
Lying on the bed of roses…
In Lugard’s unification.
Three tribes wry for the best
...

Larry of all traits, poise, willpower and vigor
Greatness precise to harvest, he is successful
Nevertheless, behind his success is a virtuous wife
Who whispers the shrewd strategies to him at the right time.
...

Her lashes are sooty coal
Her smiles are exactly shaped,
I wish I were a mold.
To stare mutely at her down the road
...
