Jerry Akporhor Poems

What if God displays our secrets in the sky,

For all the world to spy and pry? Would you look up or bow your face and be shy,
As your hidden sins and thoughts go by?
...

The mere thought of growing old and dieing is enough to make hearts heavy with emotions, but it is a topic that we must confront, uncomfortable as it may be.

It's a truth that we cannot run from; one day, we and everyone we hold dear will take our last breath and bid farewell to this world.
...

At a crossroad, I stand alone,
Uncertain where my path is known,
Left or right, which way to go,
A decision I must make, but how to know?
...

Like the flowing river, life goes on,
Moving forward, from dusk till dawn.
It cares not for those who come or go,
For time waits for no one, this we know.
...

Putting to words the love I nursed towards you will only diminish the depth of my affection,
Like the wind, I can't grasp it, but it echoes deep within my soul.

You have infected me with a chronic heart overbeat, a sickness I welcome with open arms,
...
