Omokpariola Elshalom Poems
- 1. Beautifully Broken Soul
Dashing young phoenix with a unicorn’s horn as he makes his entrance.
Looking so perfectly flawless with the dash of bliss in that smile,
Making light of the moment and surfing the world for the moment;
Strung up by the compelling call of Mother Nature,
... - 2. Drained By Your Absence
I still go through panic attacks at the thought of your suffix,
I still lose it when your memory grease my mind,
I still feel paralyzed by your venomous assault,
I still go through the nightmares of your betrayal
... - 3. Breathless Breathe
Saddling up on a horse's back,
I sea a sea filled with thoughts at its shore;
I stare into a space but no place to drop my wishes;
Consumed by the flake of bullets;
... - 4. Darkened Thoughts
Let Me Be Left Alone;
Let Not My Soul Feel Laughter;
Let Not My Eyes Feel The Sun;
Let The Waters Cover My Last Breathe.
... - 5. Ma Afriq Weeps
Look at my daughters; mistaken for wayward fugitives;
My sons; living like warlords at each other’s neck;
Their children are in so much hate and lust after their cousins
Behaving like offspring from separate wombs.
