Hilary Frank-Ito Poem
The rains have come and gone
Our heart is swollen with joy
The time has come again
To see them do their dance
Some happy mothers here
Some anxious suitors there
Waiting … … … watching
Bubbling the circled square
Kum Kum Kum Kum
Yee Yee Yee Yee
Comes the song of drums
Heralding their precious steps
Shaking their beaded waists
Dangling their bangle ankles
Oh big bunch of beauties
Fruits of healthy seedlings
Ripen yet unpluck
Dance dance dance
Shake shake shake
Ready for sheet to soil
The stains of the night to see
Of shame or pride to bear
And so it goes like that…

Hilary Frank-Ito Poem
See how little time it takes
To hate the one you love
The one of all, I cared so much
Tin and thick yet to come
Storm and wing still afar
Quick in time it fades away
Hit and run
Never pays
Good to know who you are
Bye-bye love and come no more.

Hilary Frank-Ito Poem
Poets are but
Sick in sublimity
Of love
Time & Events
People & Places
Ideas & Divinities
Without which
They lie prostrate
In portrait

Hilary Frank-Ito Poem
What hardship
Is joblessness?
Soul searching endlessly
Roving depth in height
Beasting and feasting
On treacherous quagmire

Hilary Frank-Ito Poem
I love it, each time I get here
I mean the peak
Of the pinnacle
Topmost of the mountain
Highest in height
From where my ego
Like myself, stays on top
To savour the beauties of creation
I am a conqueror
Having gotten here
Having laboured hard
To keep pace and rhythm
Every step of the way
A feat many only but wish
Lifting along
Not one but two
To the crescendo
Of life and love

Hilary Frank-Ito Poem
Enticingly juicy
Melting on the burning
Lips of passion
Stretching tongues to lick
But soured drops long left over
Icings of deadly venoms
Ooh greedy zealots
Gulping to stupor
Concoctions for all such gluttons
