Henrietta Ezegbe Poems

Roots in shifting soil,
A quiet strength in the change —
Flourish in the now.
...

Keeper of endings and beginnings,
you move softly through golden light
whispering surrender, renewal
and faith in what the eyes cannot see.
...

Salutation Is Not Love
Nostalgia is a storyteller,
and she lies beautifully,
softening the edges of moments
...

A meet in the blur of ordinary days
a spark caught between passing gestures
words exchanged like fleeting constellations that promised warmth but lived in shadows
...

Quiet door closes—
my heartbeat walks out in light,
new peace blooms within.
...

Some meetings are not arrivals.
They are crossings.

You walk beside someone
...

Longest night softens,
from solstice roots,
the sun remembers how to rise again.
...

Cracks, once thought of as failures,
small ruins in the shape of a life,
carried in shame, hidden from sight,
unaware that dawn was waiting.
...

Placed high,
on a pedestal carved from admiration,
words like gilded offerings,
eyes that saw only brilliance.
...

First, the ecstatic joy of meeting
Fire sparks go off, love is in the air!
In tow follows the sad extinguish
O modern dating, just like clockwork.
...
