Kodi Azuonye Poems
The water is dark and silent, reflecting sparks of the night’s fire
that bedeck a window of sky.
Your voice tonight does not thrill me at all, poet wind.
...
At first, the dark rain-clouds
cast a gloomy spell
over the eye
of the day,
...
One irksome, prosy afternoon
devoid of interest, time hanging heavily -
to have my stripling fling,
I digressed into a bush
...
Palsied dewy touch, knell-swathed-
a flawed crust of chrysalis
burned into exile.
...
The hills are alive, awake;
real are the voices raised by
the jaded, stirring trees.
Moderately diminishing against the metropolis,
...

The Best Poem Of Kodi Azuonye
An Evening By The Seashore
The water is dark and silent, reflecting sparks of the night’s fire
that bedeck a window of sky.
Your voice tonight does not thrill me at all, poet wind.
Are you merely playing upon my heartstrings to bring out joyful noise?
I thought a lingering by this margin of silence would light a star of expectations,
why does this dawn of dusk show up only swarms of loathsome ghosts.
Will you perhaps open a flower, night, to touch me with the morning’s infant fingers?
My heart is stretched across your shroud of starry silence for you, O night, my lover.
