The Nation

-
Why is it that every tails that dance round me want to touch me?
Why is it that every learners
Who learn how to ride wish to prove their strength on me?
Why is it that every rumor mongers
With all their creativities, still ends up talking about me?
How fair for enemies
To think that I am their best allies!
Fair! it's for traitors to think that I am their route for redemption.
Sad it is for the lost dogs
To think that I resemble their owner.
What an attempt!
Broken hearted to think that I am a condolence to thier affairs.
Of all, I still stands,
 The only one who understand how the cock crows.
After destroying the nation,
Its children and and  you presume a traitor,
Do you think you left some portion for  forgiveness in it?
After abandoning your palace
Do you still think there is somewhere for you to start building the nation from?

The morning Bird

My mockingbird That whisper at night When I am half at mind. What is this dawn? If this time is yesterday, I would write for you Love Letter; Hello love, I paint to you the picture of my love Using words in this Love letter Because in such, Nothing else can explain it to you. Last night A holy dreams visited me! I saw the peak of joy in the church When believers witnessed the ambivalent of you My Angel and your wings before Christ. I saw the beginning of Romanticism When I was Romeo and youere Juliet And nothing else matters more than that aristocracy. By the dawn, I was Adam and you were Eve and life begins. If this time is today, Then I am your pillow Holding your cheek every night with peace. On your best days, I am your love songs That chant your emotions, Your bird that sing for you Morning aubade beside your bed, The drizzling solid liquid from your showers That flows from your head to tail is your love. I am your favourite Lotion That smears you ...

"Dilli-Darling"

                          Wake me up When I sleep, Because your harms is too secure For me to think of the threat of this world. Put me upright if I start to snore Because your laps is too soft For me to forget about sleeps. Call my name if you see me smile While sleeping, because I cannot Withstand the comfort of your company in my dreams. Hoo dilli-darling! Kiss my forehead When you are leaving Because it gives me The sense of hope And memories of your care. Dilli-darling;...reason why I cannot walk on my path alone Is that, there are hills I cannot climb alone, Stones never can I push alone, Valleys I can failed in an attempt to ascend alone, Tone I cannot nurse alone from my toe. I can make a step or two But I cannot carry my weight and load alone. 2018ocenmicheal@theshadowwordsafrica-poetry

Smile and don't cry

Smile and don't cry If you have no humane. Dance and never sit If you don't know how to sit. Dine and never stop If you never felt hungry. Despise and never cheers If you were born with everything. Kill and never stop If you thing you are an alloy. This world! It is full of opportunities and disappointment. Live like it is yours But you never wins it. You never live long enough to shine 'feet and toe'. Today it's me! Tomorrow Will be you. It's fate that we share But destiny defeats us all. 2018criticalocol@theshadowwordsafrica-poetry
