Short Ese Poems

Venid amor a hacer nuestro niño
                    niño, hijo , sangre compañera...
                   compañera de lucha,  y alegria
                   alegria real nos dará ese niño...!...

Bésame como si fuera el último beso en tu vida,
Con esa fuerza del amor que existe en tu corazón;
quema mis labios con la llama ardiente de tu pasión,
y que nuestras almas en ese instante queden fundidas....

Raspar ese hielo 
That cold Brick of ice
Raspar ese hielo
Crystal clear and light

Raspar ese hielo
Dame una de piña 
Y una de coco
Piragua man
I like the way it taste

So cool and refreshing
On a hot New York City
Summer day...

I dug out the 
big pieces of 
black soil of 
my choice,
Crumbled them 
in a tank, 
removed the 
humus and 
pebbles;
Then the soil's 
soaked and 
kneaded 'to 
paste I placed
On my wheel 
and moulded 
all 'ese various-
shaped 
vessels!...

Akasar mai ese khayal 
mai duoba rhata hu ki kab 
hogi apni mulakat jewaan 
ki douba mai payal ki awaz 
mai mehndi key rang mai 
akasar douba rhta hoon
 suney awaz tumhari jesey suni 
raat key timtimatey tare ki 
rhoshi mai odey chadar tanhai ka..
... Akasar mai rho leyta hoon
 leykar dard zudai ka... 


With love all

Kya batau kese batau
Ki kya mushkile he
Bas itna samajhlo tum
Ki mustakbil gardish me he

Mene saha kese saha
Ki kya halat the wo
Bas tum itna Jaan lo
Ki Jung ab tabish se he

Me jeeyu ese jeeyu
Ki kya majbooriyan thi
Tumko bas itna ilm ho
Taare mere jumbish me he

Me kahu jese kahu
Ki kya me tujhe batalau
sun le tu khajaalat se
ki me ab khalish me hu...

MY AFRICAN SUN
[BY OHWOJEVWE ESE GANIYU]
My African sun
Hot as you may
Be measured with
Hot or cold instruments
You still mean 
So much more to
Us in the African continent
When we wake up
In the mornings
We feel joyous
To see you standing
In the East
And when the birds
And hens are
Homeward bound to roost
That is the right
Time to behold
God’s best gift
Of nature....

Poker face attempted
pretense at being calm
Speech also pre-empted -
stuttering with aplomb.

What I should have said was...
I mean, I really meant...
You see, I didn't see...
Who'd have thought that she was

Classic diagnosis
it's foot-in-mouth disease
a verbal sclerosis
sometimes called, greenhorn-ese

There is no known antidote
no medical solution.
Bandage which has my vote -
lessons in elocution.

Ya no más poemas tristes
ya no más te extraños,
ya no más perdones
pues todo ese me hace daño

El árbol de la inspiración
esprimido de pasión está,
ahora le toca al corazón
ser fuerte y lagrimas ya no dar

Y si mis manos me fallaran
y ya no pudiera escribir,
todo el mundo sabria que la amaba
pues mis poemas reflejaron mi sufrir

Ya no mas poemas tristes
en este escribo lo que sentía,
ahora estoy lleno de gozo y felicidad
pues mi amor aun quiere ser mi amiga!!!...

“OYE” (“HARMATTAN”)
[BY OHWOJEVWE ESE GANIYU]


When
	On harmattan wings
Flapped iced
Into my oblongata cold
Into moneyless sadness
Of our Saussure’s paper
Locked in
Folic signified signifier
In language
Too much mystique in
Folic signifier signified
Till tides come
When
On glorious dawns day
We acknowledge
That those potholes
We 
Wobbled our way through 
In 
Thorns trumpeted
Into our ears 
Too congealed
To hear Bata drums
Hypnotizing us
Into spag queens hall....
