Obinna Nwerem Poems

As the rain drops, she cries
She sits close to the window crying
She sit alone wishing for someone
To hold her and kiss her
...

I am a young black man
Confused and trapped in a whiteman's world
Day and night I shed lonely tears
Contemplating my life through the years
...

From the burning of my heart I cry
Sometimes I would just cry
Because once again you have hurt me
I used to be on my own; lonely
...

I am not yet a poet
I have lied to my heart
Now I can no longer write
Tonight I lay awake
...

Do you have something I can write about
I can no longer think of things to write about
Maybe I can write about oranges
Who would read about oranges
...

How can one be betrayed by death

Be cheated out of living
...

Wait
Please dont flip the page
I have got something to ask you
This is really important
...

For my little sister Angela

Never saw the grave where
Angela laid; still wonder why
...

No where to hide my heart

On my neck it hangs low
...

Nightmares am having every night
With every vain in my body
I cry out from the dark world
But no one seems to care
...
