Ifechukwu Ezeokoli Poem
And then in midst of summer's lore
I sang a tune of hail and gloom
Of dark and light and so much more
Of pain and sorrow, and of plume
Oh, darling, you walk through a muddy bog
But my sweet, I can't save you now
Still, I promise I won't let you sog
We both know it won't be long now
Till you give up your gloomy heart
And let someone in one more time
Till you forget all about that part
That part of your heart you saved for summertime
Sweetheart, though I've met my end
Just know you can find love again

Ifechukwu Ezeokoli Poem
Everywhere she goes the grass is greener
And all the time I doze in my misdemeanor
Her eyes can make the sun come out
And I have fun just wandering about
When the sky is dark and the ground all mucky
She lays on the ground as if she's lucky
In spite of all my meaningless fear
She can make it all but adhere
There in the unknown am I
And she steps in without the bat of an eye
In the midst of the end
She can make all the bad disappear
Loneliness is nothing when I am with her
For she is absolute and sure
But dependency can only get one so far
And it is toxic to what we are
When she is gone
I am nothing
For united we stand
Divided I fall

Ifechukwu Ezeokoli Poem
Ripped to shreds like paper
As I fall from the sky
Heaven has abandoned me
The Gods have forsaken me
And every time I fall, another part of me breaks
He always picks up the pieces and attempts to put them back together
But every shard is as sharp as a knife
One slip and someone gets hurt
My heart is permanently crimson from all the pain it must endure
When he sticks the fragments back into it
The cuts will soon seal
But the scars are forever
You are an angel, he said
But I cannot fly
For my heart has been cut
And my wings ripped apart

Ifechukwu Ezeokoli Poem
Why have you disappeared?
It's like all of my limbs have been sheared.
The world has now fallen away
And I let out a pitiful bay
The pain is like no other
And my mind threatens to smother
The world moves on without delay
As if you were not mislaid today
Many move on without a second thought
While I am fraught and distraught
I am nothing but a mourning dove
And I wish to be with you, my love

Ifechukwu Ezeokoli Poem
Am I a star?
Or am I the sea?
Am I the sky?
Or am I just me?
Because I've been thinking
And you know what I found?
The idea that I'm me
Is simply profound
See, I can't do anything
At least, no one sees
And I'm pretty small
Compared to Saturn's rings
So I should be a star
Or even the land
Maybe the sky
Just something really grand
And if you tell me
To be myself
I swear I might
Just break a shelf

Ifechukwu Ezeokoli Poem
So cordial and tolerant was he
Wicked and malicious are you
He was like an angel
You are a demon in disguise
You capered 'round the land like a madman
As he drowned in the remedy
And you cannot recall what you've done
Yet you still continue to do it
You are a murderer
Pathological and lunatic
You shan't have any guilt
Your mind, so broken, could not handle its strain
So many pray for your bereavement
But your lack of empathy grants you no power to give them their desire
And ironically, you wish to have an orderly existence
For your selfishness knows no bounds
And your continued self-indulgence is what killed all of them
What killed him

Ifechukwu Ezeokoli Poem
You and I were meant to be
Friends forever our hearts between
Is not the ground where a flower dies destined to flourish again?
What is between you and I cannot perish
Neither you nor I know of what is to come
So from there we will write our story
If pain and anguish await us in the future
The flame that takes away this friendship is to blame
I am none too high to go so low
If I fall from the sky, will you catch me?
When my heart breaks so, will you be the one to comfort me?
I have nothing but you and even that I have not
I wish for you to stay with me.
Everything that I want I cannot have and it is no one’s fault but my own.
You’re gone now and everything has disappeared
If I go too, will you be there?
You and I were meant to be
Friends forever our hearts between

Ifechukwu Ezeokoli Poem
Running in place
Turning to waste
Head spinning
No winning
One foot in the past
One foot in the future
The present doesn't exist
My mind feels like mist
One step forward equals ten steps back
The world is swirling and whirling and twirling
I try to keep up
But sometimes I just feel stuck

Ifechukwu Ezeokoli Poem
Where do we fall when we have to let go?
Where do we go when we feel so low?
Caught me in the sky, now there's nowhere to go
And I can't let go, no I can't let go
You're all I've ever wanted, all that's ever cared
But I feel like I'm drowning and I'm so, so scared
That you won't pull me out
Of this sea of worries and terrible doubts
I would scream, but I don't think you'd hear me
I would call, but I know you wouldn't answer
I would go, but it'll hurt so bad if I do
And I would hold on, but it hurts more being with you

Ifechukwu Ezeokoli Poem
When at last the storm has cleared
And all I ever wanted has left
You stepped into the light that I so feared
And showed me that I was truly bereft
You'd said you loved me, that you cared
But all that's left is pain and destruction
And where I was, so lonely and scared
You passed as though I was an obstruction
It is my fault, when is it not?
I destroy everything I touch
Because though I pushed and fought
I now know that I pushed too much
Love is such an evil thing
For I left you, and then you left me
