Moses Abah Poem
Standing here,on thesame spot,wounded by my own sword.Engorged with silence i created from my harsh word.
Thesame spot you held my hands so tight.streaming tears droping down your ephebic eyes like dews in morning light.
Thesame spot i stand,wishing i never poured those hot coals of goodbye on you. Now Alone here i stand,like an ocean with no water fill.
Alone with me a lonesome heart,i can only hope for you.My heart surmoning the images that were far gone.I seat here,heaping a thousand moments like a mountain with no valley,waiting for you.
Alone beneath the tick clouds of your shadow i lay prone,waving the sky,hoping you wave back.Alas!,your protruding absence piercing within like a harpoon.
Alone,In the earthkingdom a lilliputian quaking susceptible to your venom.staggering with no destination on the isles of your memories.
Alone in the oasis of two...casting wishes on hardened grounds like a gypsy in a ferocious desert wind..alone a soul awaiting manumission.
Alone with me,a looted heart,gyped by its own creation..a broken city with no rex_Alone i lay,lost in the feracious ephemeral memories hoping with hopes you soar back on the wings of fate.

Moses Abah Poem
Odyssey
Silently he sat on the still river
with his eyes fixed a million miles
away from the horizon,he could
feel the boiling waters of hope
steaming up from within the bowl of his disenchanted mind.
i mean the same bowl
from which fear and panic always
had their meal,i guess this time
he didn't offer them a spoon to feed
on his hopes or maybe he finally
mastered the elements of determination
he now dares the devil to a duel,
he now knows the ways of the eagle,
he would battle with Ares
and walk out alive!
he would tell Zeus of his broken wings
and even lend him a pair or two
He would set sail with Poseidon
and win the heart of the raging sea!
He would do anything!!!
because he has gained mastery of taming the beast that once preyed on this thoughts.
he now guides his mind for in there lies
the journey of Life.
