Ezio Olubelleau Poems

Time went out a-fast,
In a dance of cock,
A time keeper thought a-cast,
He danced a-knock a rock.
...

Let me spill it out,
I know I'm not good with changes:

When hellos fade,
...

I have seen my reflection,
Dance in the shadow of nights,
A king lost his crown to thieving hands,
And a slave found his place amongst knights.
...

A boy of twelve, impaled himself,
He said to his fellow, "Life's a scam."
The elders delve, "Free thyself, "
His parents slow, "This's, a jam.."
...

Old but prime,
Weak yet strong,
A tune with which time rhyme,
Where the hearts be-long.
...

Slay and fall,
Wound and bawl,
Bleed and fade,
Slash and wail.
...

Imagine
A wood carver
With arms of gold,
Chiseling through woods
...

She will not hear,
No matter how I call.
I reached for her,
But she drifted,
...

If the shadows
Of your lies elude you,
Lay your back,
Face the heavens.
...

See where goodwill led—
What wisdom was it to give
What I called effort
To beasts blind
...
