Short Herold Poems

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 are free...

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 

                                                                                                             1 November 2013...

To you 
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB
To you, the star in my luminous night 
To you, the light in this dark stricken life
To you, the only glimpse of fulfilment 
To you, my peace in natures great storm
To you, the one who was and still remains 
To you, my Lord, father and friend

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 eyes, your eyes filled with light 
Leads the way to your soul...

Voices 
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB

Voices, many voices in my head
Choices, many choices in my hand
Crying, drying every tear arriving 
Trying, lying but many things colliding 
My mind so tired, 
Many tears of fire
Need some silence,
Lord please consume this

                                                                                                                               27April 2013...
