THE GHOST OF OUR FATHERS PAST

"From whence do thou come to us?

With scanty hair and shoes covered in dust,

And face so white like clouds just after dusk,

And voice like many speaking at once"

"From the world beyond, I have come,

To behold the world I fought to form,

How thou trampleth on my legacy like Caucasian rugs,

And to tell thee that the worst is yet to come"

"Ye are not of this world indeed,

And what ye has spoken, we heed,

But do not perceive what they mean,

We implore thee to tell us what thou knoweth or have seen"

"Because ye has asked, I shall tell,

Thy world was built on the bones and blood of men,

To see it crumble is a sight, so hard to stare,

But indeed the worst is not yet here"

Virgo

How prudent thou art,

Allowing not a trifle of detail

In the contours of the earth

Escape thy eyes.

The brilliance of thy face

Bewray

Thou art closest to the sun

Oh thy mind

An epitome of intellect

Thou emphasize the beauty in art

And earth

Sew upon this world

Thy purity

Thou art truly a friend

For life. 

[Poetry] - Buried In The Sands

Gently the tides rise

And return to their graves

Causing the ocean to extend

Its boundaries

Rushing lazily to intercourse

With my feet

Sluggishly swift

But called

To confinement

Where it awaits

The birth of the next wave

To be with my feet again

Buried in the sands...

Like a statue made of earth

I stood and pondered

On the words

Of my next poem.

How nature has commanded

The waters to offer me art.

With a little fear in my heart,

The next wave may be

too "in love" with my feet to let it go

But even the thought of death

Could not make me

Part ways with this rare inspiration

Buried in the sands.

Poetry - Blank

My pen kept caressing my notepad without making any sense... Here is a piece about how i feel when i lack inspiration to write...

BLANK

As intense as the heat of the sun at noon,

So was my gaze at nothingness

As I sat still

Wearing the expression of a corpse

Whose eyes where never shut

Still as the night

Lost in the turbulence of my mind

As the storms of confusion

Persistently clouded my judgments…

Peering into the soul of the unknown

Words have become dinosaurs in my head

As I search for its Jurassic world

Battling extinction

Not sparing my eyelids a blink

If only I could conjure spiritus Mundi

Of William Shakespeare

And Henry Vaughan

Descending into the gyre

Of their antiquated creativeness

Then maybe

I could create a maelstrom

From these bare pages

To allure all who gaze upon,

Granting them entry

Into the world beyond. 

- Ogaba Samuel

Poetry - Blinding Black

So i've been writing a lot lately, poems especially so i decided to start posting them here...

You know when you have a strong crush on someone but you just keep observing them from afar, staring, maybe even lock eyes with the person, or say hi while passing? well this is more than that...

BLINDING BLACK

There she stood,

Like an eyot in the midst of magnificence,

With skin so dark

Its brilliance outshone the moon

With smile like white flag

Settling the scores amongst nations

Silencing drums of war

I froze

As I met her gaze

One more powerful than Medusa’s

Her eyes were that of the storms’

I was the shore

She was the island

And the river kept us apart

I prayed only for eternal drought.

A date with "Wonder woman"

Before exams that day, I invited her to come have lunch with me after her papers at a restaurant I frequent. After her exams, she and her friends waited for me under a tree close to the post office, I had seen them from a distance but the narcissist in me made me delay a little longer just so they'll wait for me a little longer. I showed up after delaying for and extra 5mins, I looked at her and she couldn't manage a smile, "exams must have been bad for her", i thought, and "boy was i right?", I exchanged greetings with her friends and they asked me to take care of her then they left for the hostel.

We sat under the tree for the next five minute while she told me what a bad day she had. I interrupted her in the middle of a sentence and said, "don't let it bother you, think happy thoughts", then she replied "you know if I don't vent now, the feeling will keep welling inside, don't you remember?", there was a brief silence then she said "okay, I won't let it bother me", then we left for the restaurant.

When we got there the place was crowded and she explained to me how she can't eat in a place like that, not when people are around, so we went to a more private place, I ordered for jollof rice and moi moi, she ordered the same, I collected a fork and a knife for myself and a spoon for her and I explained to her how I prefer to eat with both cutlery instead of a spoon, she didn't quite understand but we got down to the business of digging through the meal before us and in a short while only a piece of beef was left on my plate. It was easy to cut through the beef and eat since I was using a fork and a knife and in no time I had cleared my plate. She couldn't finish her food so she went for the beef, and in the process of trying to cut through the piece of meat with her spoon, it broke in half. We both burst into uncontrollable laughter and when we caught our breath, with a stern voice she asked "have you paid?", "yes" I replied, "are they owing you change?", "No" I replied, then she looked around briefly then back at me and said "let's bounce".
The End.

She's definitely gonna kill me when she reads this. Lol.
