Ojeikpo Elijah Poems

Tell me because I am from North
Tell me because I am from South
Either East or West
We are one
...

Tithe, a duty we must fulfill
To give back a portion of our gain.

A sacrifice, a test of our will
...

My love, if I should die before thee
Do not weep or shed a single tear
For in death, my spirit shall be free
And I will watch over you, forever near
...

Anxious for nothing, my heart doth race
As fear and worry consumed my mind
Like wildfire,
My thoughts a tangled web, I can't erase
...

The day has gone,
The twinkle night rob the day with softened romance,
Midnight falls and stars twinkle bright,
I make a wish upon the crescent moon.
...

May all prayers be answered, by the grace
Of a higher power, we hope and plead
For guidance and strength, in life's rat race
In times of joy and in times of need.
...

Hold him by his words

In God's words where wisdom's light doth brightly shine,
A treasure lies, a truth both grand and deep,
...

In realms where love's pure essence freely flows,
No fear can thrive, no hatred's seed be sown.
Envy withers, and gossip finds no home,
For love's embrace all shadows are overthrown.
...

If I should die without a suitor's claim,
Unwedded, in a world of love's sweet pain,
Let not my end be marked by fear or blame,
Nor gossip's sting, nor hatred's cruel disdain.
...

Poetry a realms where wisdom and beauty entwine,
Where thoughts profound in verse divine,
I sing of poetry's ethereal flight,
A journey to the depths of human might.
