Martins Akhoeneto Poems

Homecoming was fun, awesome
But now so tiring and worrisome
In the year when trees made music.
Radiating the grandeur of glorious heaven.
...

Falling tears, like leaves in seasons
For how many more years
Shall you shed those tears,
All for memories beyond reasons
...

Year in, year out you come
In great delusion, an epic interest
Packed in vans of delusive saboteurs,
With pledges, both milk and in honeycomb
...

A time will come,
Real shall it become,
A day of dry rains
Against your early bargains.
...

Black nights, blindfolded to heaven
Anchored beneath, a steel hell
Everything ill deed is given
A crescent moon bade farewell,
...

Fly away O! Egrets
In a myriad of beaut design
Brighten up the blue skies
In great clusters of whites.
...

You will never know how many smiles,
And how many aches that piles
Down within; in flooded tears
As memories awaken, - of barred years.
...

You said she was down to earth
Mannerly bright and free from graven dirt
You lied, yes! you lied
Because a brimfilled of negatives she hides
...

in the heat of torture
craving it's soothing peace
can I for once find savour
with this forbidden past?
...

you came to me again
now and each night with a heavy face,
yet each time of your visit
I seem to be deaf and unrepenting
...
