Daniel Okafor Poem
Garden of Eden is far from this
with shared affinity among its borders
with confusing the a fore mentioned
Gone through the sun but fun
with life of thorn and burn
now the result the negative bio-rhythm
Geographically located in bliss
with males of bonny and muscular frame
female so fair on the opposite of buxom line
Of-course she is engaged in exchange
often called bimbo by her bilateral partners
ever sacrificing, never satisfied
Always a hero in her mind`s eye
known a bluff by passers-by
but certainly not a blue bottle

Daniel Okafor Poem
I will speak of the cauldron
though am of no form of debating
of the cavity between the man and the mind
more to say of the suppressed smile and secret laughter
clear the feet of all non-proliferation
cos` the head is gradually getting full of non-conformity
despise and under the vocalization if thou care
so thou can keep on underwriting the mind of an undertaker
skin-grafting,prof-ligating,huffing and puffing
now back to the hustlers quote
"Life has gone through so much vagary"
en devour to metamorphose your rhythms
avoiding the temptation to join the melee
going, going, gone.

Daniel Okafor Poem
AU REVOIR
In awe my mouth is opened wide
my upper lip suspended restricting it kissing the lower lip
my tongue unable to position inside my vocal cavity
cos` the news i just heard
no more! the narrator said
never to see again
Oh! was it not....................................
just yesterday i set my eyes on her
gone to where? i asked the narrator
to the great beyond
why the tittle great?.......
a great one it took away from us
away from us took it a great one
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
in the sweet by and by
narrator when shall that be?
just a little time he said very soon
shall we know when we meet?
that i cannot tell with boldness
but we shall be on that day
My beloved one
hope you heard that
happy we shall be on that day
aha, life here might be hard
but life there we can`t say
so soon we shall meet again
aha, but not yet
i mean it beloved, not yet

Daniel Okafor Poem
Sandcastles made by little ones
they`v been here since noon
children launch is ready..........
was the call that deserted these castles
looking at these beautiful buildings
thoughts starts flowing in.........
When i grow up, i`ll build a mansion
choice cars and choice girls
daddy you i `ll build a factory
mummy, a super-mart of popular demand
oh time, won`t you fly a bit fast
so age could make me old
Grown now am i, with this phrase in mind
oh how time flies, old with age
and nothing to show forth
don`t dream my dream...vain thinking
dream! do more than dream
plan! do more than plan
pray! do more than pray
work! do more than work
or your may end up saying, it`s daddy`s fault

Daniel Okafor Poem
Trees bowing in humble adoration
Dust up the air........from the ground
Humans having a feeling so sweet
Mild is the air,will it rain today?
Thunder? no! lightening? no!save the breeze
squeezed umbrellas,caps dancing upwards
leaves gathering to have an emergency meeting
everyone shut your eyes, some sands are passing by
it will rain, will it rain? rain it will
rain, rain go away come again another day
little ones chanting down the next lane
thunder strikes, lightening follows
drops of rain, showers, oh its pouring almost immediately
to your tents all the living
heavens water tanks are open

Daniel Okafor Poem
This path they say is tough
though rough, some of `em say is bliss
those that have not seen, see they want to
those that have seen it all, teach they want to
if a man dies, will he live again?
do life and death have anything in common?
grandpa`s advise will always bring in some fright
get your shoes ready, cos` the world may end in the night`s hour
now this is the advise
"As you lay your rest, so you will pass through it"
