Ijeoma Ikonne Poem
TEARS OF THE INNOCENCE
Alone and friendless
With a change in situation
From the tenderly cherished son
To despised and helpless slave
Complicated relationship
Untold pain and anxiety
Emotional unrest
Tear of persecution
Cannot control others choices
To either hate, live or love
Surrounded with severest affliction
Virtue will bring it's own reward
Strong and courageous
No condemnation now
Truth will surely unfold
Time will tell.

Ijeoma Ikonne Poem
SHOW ME
From all corners of the state
Came vain promises on earth
A very heart thrilling indeed
Raising hopes filling in need
Show me !
A man who claims to be perfect
I'll show you a bloody hypocrite
Who is imperfect a prefect
Believing a politician's
Promises during election
It's like believing in illusion
Of what men say when having ********
Show me a politician
Who does not lie to shine
And I will allow you to imagine
A prostitute who's a virgin

Ijeoma Ikonne Poem
DILAPIDATED GLOBE
A weary pneuma bleeds
Tears of the miserable
The poverty-stricken tumbledown
The opulence shows gusto.
At the sight of the indigent
But very penurious in helping...
They live in safety isle
But parade in the dilapidated globe.
Masses weep
Agony of the wretched man
Mercy he pleads
To mother earth and nature.
Under a thatched leaking roof
Muds fall at bewitching hours
Petite ice drops like contingent snow
If wishes were horses...
If the night could give way to day...
Friendly enemies of the night parading
What a tragic horror for the cynical
In a dilapidated globe.

Ijeoma Ikonne Poem
AMAZING LOVE
With glasses tinted with grace
He looks at each of us
He sees a potential beauty
Talent that we cannot even imagine
His love abides
He was prepared to die
Despite my uncountable offences
He paid it all
No other one can cheer me
When am sad to him I go
He makes me glad
His love keeps me
His love melts a stony heart
I stand in him complete
I lay my trophies down
Oh how he loves me
Amazing love
How can it be?
So infinite his grace
Emptied himself of all but LOVE.

Ijeoma Ikonne Poem
FEAR
The horrors of the night
The deafening noise of the porch-climber
Awful beast creeps
What will I do?
Uncertainty filled my fate
Mystification of cosmos
Stupefaction of humans
What could that be?
Tiny creatures squirm
unknown sounds infrequently heard
Incessant foot steps approaching closely
What do I do?
Incertitude engulfed me
Could it be night Marauders?
Maybe it could be myth
Where will I go?
Help ! Help ! oh help
They shouted with terrifying voice
Fixing a gaze at an apparition
Could this be a ghost?
Wake ! Wake ! Just wake up!
So a fainted voice came from within
Behold , I had been traumatized
With fear of the unknown tomorrow

Ijeoma Ikonne Poem
HER TIME
ill- dated she thought
ill-humored her birth brought
ill-omened her race
ill-starred her pace.
Through thick hide
Though beffudled
Hard-boiled she remained
Her bright future is imminent.
Ineluctable is her fate
Bridled by unknown
Blithe she ever has been
Awaiting a pleasant futurity.

Ijeoma Ikonne Poem
Always unimpressed
Never cares about others interest
Ever willing to get you suppressed
Often desiring to be defended
Oh human existence
Joy of the wretched
Tears of the opulence
Man is ever unsatisfied
Life is beautiful
Life is meaningful
Some are insatiable
Certain behaviours are unbelievable
Work while the light fades
Work with life in the shades
Reap the fruits of your labour
Leap the joy of your harbor

Ijeoma Ikonne Poem
BLACK MOOD
Tough times never last
Difficulties grows fast
It portrays there's something you can do
Only the tough people can survive it too
Oh how hunger surfaces
Numerous wants showcases
Different thoughts encompasses
Many disappointments arises
You can decide to bend on your knees
Looking for help with your pleas
Receiving insults at increase
Not giving up on saying please
Life seems so unstable
Food can be on your table
Tomorrow your pocket may be empty
Life at times is tempting

Ijeoma Ikonne Poem
I WILL
I will , she accepted
To be entangled
And mingle in love
With a stranger
I will, she agreed
A firm promise made
Sincerely from the inmost heart
Purified like a gold
I will, she decided
Amidst life challenges
Through the sun
Or in the rain
I will, she did
By accepting the ring
As he proposed
A sign of what he desired.
I will , he promised
To go meet your parents
As a proof of my love
To be together with you.

Ijeoma Ikonne Poem
LOST LOVE
Love at first sight
Having thoughts you're Mr right
Emotions creeping in so tight
An angel of love to care
You turned to be seen rare
Coupling to the envy of others fear
At the peak of deep affection
Came angel with huge infliction
And swept the love like erosion
Shattered emotions
Bleeding heart of contrition
Scattered around expression
Broken are the strong feeling
Uncherished are the desired longing
Lustfully lost in the love sharing
