Maryclaire Obioha Poem
I have always been fantasized about the sky
The rustling wind
how freely it moves with no care
I want to dare
to take a step closer
to break the chains
to run away from the chaos of the world
to somewhere far away
to find freedom from the ground
so that my scars will fade
people will call it suicide
cowardice but who cares?
I am done
for once
just once
I want to be free

Maryclaire Obioha Poem
Once in four years
no matter how far
all the nations gather
regardless of borders
inside the stadiums
painted in different colors
chants heard from every corner
football lovers of all kinds
celebrating history being made
players from the best teams
from all across the world
Forty-eight in number
playing for the cup
match after match
Right on this field
Dreams will be shattered
Hardwork will be rewarded
Talent will be showcased
Once the whistle blows,
Fate will be decided
All will go home
One will bring it home
most of all,
this world cup is a farewell
to all our heroes
who will play well with all their heart
one last time
giving us memories to last forever
so when the game is over
no matter who wins
We will all bleed from our eyes
for all the legends
we will lose tonight

Maryclaire Obioha Poem
Heed
Open your ears
A time shall come
When the world goes quiet
sounds of trumpet
All we shall hear
for our time is near
A man riding a horse shall appear
Dressed in all majesty
Alongside him,
men, angels of different ranks
swords at their sides
riding horses painted white
to take us home
Those who did his will
shall rise
While others shall fall
let us do what is pleasing to the Lord

A pair we were once
but fate went its own way
now we remain in letters

A smile he used well
fooled us all,his final act
curtain closed,his final show

Maryclaire Obioha Poem
outcasts
orphans
they found home in each other
always together
never far
Distance was never a problem
Two peas in a Pod
those twos
they have been friends since forever
people would pair them up
while they tried to catch the train
life flew by in the same manner
Distance became a problem
she got into science
while he got into art
she was practical
always thinking
he was delusional
always writing
playing pranks
while she got into trouble
trying to get him out
playing keep away with her glasses
while she punches him in the gut
she could bear anything but his tears
while he could bear anything but her anger
losing her, his only fear
Now do you think distance could be an obstacle
writing was his passion
while she was his need
c'mon
letters they wrote everyday
regardless of the weather
Now people will twist it
by saying it was love letters
but should i tell you what was written in them
I am getting married
you better attend
