Patrick Akhudu Poems

Seasons brimmed with emptiness,
Days languished in wantonness,
Hours buzzed with sour silence,
Minutes, like particles of patience,
...

The long river of dreams
Flatters the feeder streams,
Hustler's boat drifts along,
His hope for catch is wrong!
...

Biach, you snuffed my star,
Blurred my horizons,
Broke my mettle...
...

It's me here, Nasaka,
Seeking to know;
Did you have to die Nasaka,
To redeem her maidenhood,
...

The race was restively run
And winner wistfully determined.
Loser cried foul and petitioned.
Dreaded Dispute was born
...

May I make a request?
Stay at home today, papa
And play with me
Stay at home today, mama
...

My son, listen carefully
I, your father
Suffered in their hideous hands.
Your new found allies
...
