Frank Okoth Poems

If you had ears
then it could not be hard
to make you hear me,
You don't have eyes
...

I clearly understand
the reason why u are leaving
but that doesn't make it
any easier to bare
...

In many a narrated tragic love story,
we are told often, that when the Man learned that his place was now taken by another Man,
in that part of the story, He dies.
...

Her sweat continued to flow
more than her tears did,
she was born in a silver spoon,
she never knew hunger, not even now,
...

Like the light is there for the night,
Like the dark is there for the day,
Just that way I will be there upon you,
For when the light is not there it's not day,
...

I insist not for your attention, that is not my intention
Mine intent is great,
No beauty I've seen Maiden, has surpassed your beauty
You deserve my intention not attention.
...

Friendship is seasonal, so true...
My heart tastes bitter, and my soul has gone sour...

The far this friendship has brought me, My face now resembles the skin of a Lemon, just as that of your old Man.
...

He slept and awoke
he had never believed in Heaven
and yet Jesus was watching over him.
...

'Saa, saa, saa' silence
All that time was calling out Puppy,
So it was the late!
And the wagging tail was gone!
...

I still walk along
The same streets that we
Used to tread together,
Tracing your footsteps desperately.
...
