AT THE GATE OF AKOWE

Did I miss the old lady at the gates of Akowe?

I greeted someone

We exchanged pleasantries

Old just as they have said she was

Didn't you see the lines on my palm?

Oh, how long will they remain the same, unchanged

As my head grows bigger

Adding to the weight on my elongated legs?

It should never be a bother. There are times when those you know will live far from sight and those you love, behind your cloudy sky.

I found them all

I found them all

Twinkling stars above my sky

I found even more

Coming from the north with a nod

Those I knew far remained on sight

Those I loved showed behind my cloudy sky

But you, my shining star have remained closer

never failed your light on my path. 

OH WORMS

Oh worm from the red earth

Get rid of your enormous pleasures

Served to you on a silvery plate

In white gloves

That hand which held it

Your mouth will water

Your thoughts its passing not perching

The blowing wind impregnated with dust, gives birth at the feet which caresses it.

Tear drops fell on me like ice

Tear drops fell on me like ice

Not from my eyes

And I almost vowed a quest

A quest I cannot reach

Tonight is my last night

Tomorrow will not find me here

THE MOON, THE SUN, THE ROCK

Only a rock in the ocean I am

The weathering waves around me wash

My nights are lonely my nights are noisy

I yearn to see her, her attention in the skies

I prepare a flower my moon to surprise

Tonight is the night, a married night

And all Is set to see my moon

The sun shone whole my flowers pale

I wondered what more befitting

My moon to surprise

The night is come

In her regalia the moon

In her silvery colour

Three stars her shinning waist held

My night will be long, the tempest the storm 

     A night, a special night

A lonely night, though my moon was up

A flower died twice in my hand

A life

A lonely life of a rock in the ocean
