Gabriel Jirgba Poems

Last night was bright
There were lights, drinks and pals
...

It's often easy to live life
When you want the 'every-other-person' life
Though a couple of challenges to face
Being like EVERYONE, you dont have to be too good
...

Green plants with sleek red petals
You may pick a flower up
Perceive it‘s lovely scent with appreciation
It‘s a symbol of the love of God:
...

The earth is blessed with drops of rain
Not too little to chill the air
Nor so much as to take me to farm on the morrow
Just that needed little
...

Gimme a lullaby Lord, gimme a song
Gimme a beautiful sparrow-like voice
Gimme a song never sung before
That I may sing to this sleeping child
...

You
There in good times
There through bad times too
Not to prop, no, to multiple pain
...

If you could be still a minute
If you could listen to yourself
To the midnight whispers-
The gentle whispers of the zephyr
...

The betrayer was yesterday, the pain is todayI tried to shoot at troubles heartI tried to convince myself that I didnt really love you afterallI tried to busy myself with other things-so to forget youBut everything I did, every step that I took, every decision was wrong
...

How about some quiet?
How about some respect?
Cast thy eyes in the sky at a late hour
If thou would not behold thrills
...

I love the harmattan, I love its winds
Skies bright without a trace of shady clouds
I love to see
The sentimental balled dance of pine trees
...
