Michael Ordia Poems

Beneath the dark corner, she lay there
Love was the gift wrapped with fear
Gone were the days smiles were rocking
Now and then his fist did the talking.
...

Through the darkness
Through the dancing flame
When faith was madness
In this drenching rain
...

Love was all he tried to carve
Due to rejection he was left to starve
He crowned you his queen, his only muse
You fed him theatrical words, he was being used
...

They sought chemistry
We made art.
Love birds on the tree
We're bats.
...

I am Africa
I am the first of our kind
I am history
I am tales a million years old
...

When you see a poet
You see life at its best
He understands nature better than the first man
He sees the soul of all living, and inanimate
...

In the heart of Yellow with black stripes
Where love is a business deal
Lips are wrapped with lies
And kindness is a sin.
...

Dear Elder brother,
As you sit in the arms of the father
I hope you look down with a smile
At all the courage I had to gather
...

I am evil because of my skin
Handcuffed my hands and feet
Taught to hate my brothers
And feel inferior to others.
...

A little here, a little there
Her glamorous eyes filled with fear
A nymph I can't compare.
A little love, a little touch
...
