Yenum Iwenwa Poems

Hey babe.
You know they glow right?
They give off such glittering lights.
That draws forth my attention.
...

Is life a mystery?
Or a truth we already know.
Just one we refuse to acknowledge.
Because it does get confusing sometimes.
...

Darkness,
They say is the absence of light.
But this definition
Is way below what it actually means to me.

I always wondered if
I'd see you when I look
Up.

Like the kind of pretty
that is unapologetically pretty
without being condescending pretty.
...

What if our dream is an actual reality.
Or a series of reality.
One that has been lived.
One that would eventually get lived.
...

It's been a few weeks now.
I've known her for a while.
Never have I talked to her.
I'm quite content knowing her from afar.

*1st Hall White: Genesis*
Here we all start anew.
A beginning of sorts.
Filled with illusory splendor.
