Omojevwe Emmanuel Brown Poet Rhyme

The Painful Life

The painful  life.
I saw tears like wind round me; blowing warms on me
Flow into all directions on  my face,
I remembered not the colour of my tears.
I felt pains as plants felt dust on the road. 
Iam dusty  in pains; felt her beautiful colour, tears.
The  simplicity of my eyes caused, 
I saw my body beaten in sorrow;
Beaten like  earthworm that flood of waters;
 changed her colour. 
Once experienced; never trapped in the rain.

I saw help miles away from eyes;
Trying to sponge out pains from life;
more life coloured me with tears. 
Forgotten tears is good as  forgetting to live life;
Strangers shakes their heads hearing of me.
Who will stand for me and by me? 
Looking at you, I saw nothing but what afflicted  me;
We stand differ but thinks similar; what pains  offered.
She washes me and roll me round on her craws.
Eyes sees  not my greatness neither 
voices speaks not  hope to me 
Yet,  the bridges my feet need  to cross are fearful.

I saw no trees to shade me; moving on was inner courage.
  life eroded both great and small;  strangers laugh wide.
Streaming on joyful living; reflection of furnace gone through
Made nerves shaking but stronger in hope.
ride out of pain once; kept me awake.
Yet, her rainbow visible on my living.
But as no fear stand on lion's way; 
pains gone in eyes of the bold.
