DRENCH MY SOUL
Like the sun warms the dreary wintery morning,
Your love like fire from the mahogany wood burns endlessly
Never ceases like the Qua Iboe River, it floods my senses
...
Let Me Go
Don't mesmerize me with your verbosity
Come verbalize your internal vibes and make me whole
Tell me you care and make caring your vibes to feel
...
Pungent effluvia, choking stench and fear grips the land
Dry bones, rocks and no water, emptiness, smoldering landscapes and dry, dry land
The birds and animals all deserted but for vultures and hyenas having a feast
Plants and trees withering like petals under the scotching sun
...
Memories
Drip! Drip! Drip!
Rain drops falling on my roof
Drip as they fall, memories to bring
...
I give shelter to all, but none shelters me.
I have seen rain, sun and wind.
But still I stand and stand I will for generations.
Age makes me stronger…stronger than the chainsaws that nibble at my legs
...

Drench My Soul
DRENCH MY SOUL
Like the sun warms the dreary wintery morning,
Your love like fire from the mahogany wood burns endlessly
Never ceases like the Qua Iboe River, it floods my senses
Like the River Niger, you flood the dry patchy roughness of my yearning heart
If love be so sweet, pure and endless, why visits with pain and betrayal?
Why tears of love and hurt?
Long have I waited for love so true and pure
Weary and thirsty like a traveler through the desert
Peace do I find in thy bosom, but that was not to be!
Like a sojourner, I embark on a perpetual love quest
Must I wait for eternity?
Must I drown in my tears?
Quench my taste with your love and make me sing like a sun bird in summer
For only your love can flood and drench my patchy soul and render me happy!
(Bassey Etuk..Ohio 6/2014)
