Precious Okidika Poems

I'm a woman
I'm a man
I'm human
And by every means humane.
...

Alas
I drift far from you my home,
In pursuance of pasture green,
And by many aland have crossed,
...

I am waiting for the sun.
Hoping and praying,
In every moment watching,
Waiting for sunrise.
...

Like my mother's earthen pot,
Priced for its fragile form,
I have held you priced thus,
An easily broken fragile love.
...

You went too far
To hear my heart cry,
Folarin my friend,
Where are you?
...

My heart has strayed,
Deep into eden's wild.
Far it has drifted
From the world's melancholy.
...

I will miss you sore,
And think about you a million ways.
No oil can soothe
This sore you're leaving behind.
...

Weep not friend
The days of fiends
Is so soon to end
Weep not friend
...

Here comes Tomorrow,
A sudden stranger to our town.
Though for long we knew him nigh,
Yet he comes to us too soon.
...

Had it been more,
This quake that shook my soul,
And left me desireless of sleep,
Perhaps my death would be.
...
