Chibueze Oscar Osuji Poems

To plant purple flowers as the corridor
Of a big ranching range of a manor-
Mansion: Soft spankling purplish phyta and-
Lovely, I would love to grasp with my hand
...

Going home, is the next thing on my mind
After dropping prodigal acts behind,
Taming the red furnace i have as tongue
Never will I let her rot come along,
...

Silence comes and the leaflets drop
Imagery blurs of serpentine smoke
Epiphanies of the eye, pop
On the forthcoming of you, bloke:
...

Windows of heaven open to my heart
T'ward my vaning-wind and my latitude
Across lone arid and sterile desert
There I lust for love in my solitude.
...

Many a pompous decide
Many an empire of pride
Aplenty of craniums be high
And beheld among the sky
...

See the sky beckon all her hails
From the red sun focus,
With the eve arrive sapien's wails
From gallowing locus.
...

Rowing in the fisherman's boat
Net and drag ev'ry fish afloat
'Cept for the big dolphins and shark
Which quake across your floating bark;
...

Far-off across the coppice and the yew
Across the sepulchre sand, lies the hill
In the dark lunar night it glow and thrill,
By daylight it left sullen skull for view;
...

Bring along a barren page in your haste,
Soonest we await the prints on that page;
From a hungry muse our sight long to taste,
And drink the wise elixir of a sage.
...

Across the corner lay the bard
Amidst drifting voices so loud;
I am the bard in the courtyard
Scribing notes hidden from the crowd.
...
