Smile of a child
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB
So innocent; so fragile
So gullible; but who can blame them
Powerless; no sense of direction 
But filled with a seed of greatness

The smile of a child 
So comforting; so fulfilling 
Filled with strength
Fuelled with hope 

No trace of darkness 
It...

Beautiful soul
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB

In your heart there is a river
That flows so calm and still
In your eyes there I see a light 
That shines like the sun

Beautiful soul beautiful soul
Wonderful light within thy eyes

I feel my heart raising as I gaze upon your eyes
Your...

Patriotism
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB

As the rays of the sun fades away
A new form of reality comes of age 
Sparkles of light come alive 	
And fill my bedroom window
It reflects the reality I face everyday
But amazingly I do not face it alone

On every street corner
And every...

I call you friend
By Herold Osmond Owoseb

I have walked for miles
I have seen the tiles
And felt the colours of the rainbow
I have seen your smile
For more than a while.
Have watched you grow and thrive;
Into the talented young woman you are today.
What else have I to...

Prisoner
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB
I dare not say that I am innocent for I am not 
I have committed a crime
But my delinquency is contrary to felony
I have committed a crime of goodwill  

My transgression may not require the compensation of a custodial sentence 
But...

I will carry you
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB

In expectation
Ready to receive
In expectation
Waiting for rain

The clouds gather
Progress a process
Waiting on the first drops
Can feel it in the breeze

Like silver and gold 
I will treasure you
Through rivers and jungles
I will carry you

In the dark I will search
During the...

Under the Camelthorn tree 
By Herold Osmond Owoseb

Beneath the tree, lies thy heart
Beneath the tree lies the truth
Where strangers came to lay their head
Where creatures came to escape the heat
Beneath the tree, lies the key
The key that holds the peace
A peace that shows that we...

Sonnet
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB
How do I say that which I am not permitted to say?
How do I live each day pretending that what I feel is not real?
Who do I tell about this I feel each day? 
Who will remove this desire within me to...

Enchanted by beauty
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB

The sun fades away into the distance
The stillness of nature overwhelms me
On the quiet waters I see ripples
A reflection of the impact you have made

A soothing thought I linger
This perfect silence reveals the mystery
Perfectly crafted is your image
Along with your...

Time to let go
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB
Drops of rain 
Streams of moving water 
Trees clothed with colour 
Time for change

A thought in mind
A picture in hand
A change of heart 
A choice to make

Still holding on to hope
Still feeding on yesterday
Yesterday cannot secure my tomorrow
Yesterday must...

Once upon a story
By Herold Osmond Owoseb

Is it true that it is you? 
Is it true that we never knew?
My mind had forgotten but my heart has revived it
The feelings I have hidden, I now revisit 

Yesterday so clear today
Cute smiles I wish were mine...

Together and forever
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB

It’s a dark starry night with the stars shinning bright
In the stillness I hear my heart speak
It searches and finds itself in need of something 
My heart it longs for you

So many things I try but still my heart cannot...

Bended
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB

Bended, can’t be mended 
Left in the cold, feeling stranded
Selfless, in need of connection
Fighting a battle with no hope or affection 

                    ...

Time
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB

My name is time 
I’m linked to crime 
Sometimes they cry when I pass them by 
At different places, I have different faces
It is amazing to see them hate me
But even when they hate me
They’re loosing pieces of me
I’m a universal genius...
