Starshine Odoh Poem
In this place I have played
Toiled and stayed.
In here I have swam
Inside the mire-stinking pool,
Pool of misery.
I was cloned in this place
Kept on wandering among this race
With myth hovering my face
Like flies buzz on carcass,
Helpless carcass…
But soon, once, I gained sight.
Setting eyes on his glorious might
Gave my gloomy soul, glaring light.
Surely, this light knows my plight,
And had come to give it a fight.
All at once, like in trance
This miry pool became illusion,
Leaving my misery a phantom.
Oh, by this light I am lifted
Lifted above this jungle place….
Thus, I am freedom!

Starshine Odoh Poem
Take me back,
Into those arms I love, so subtle and caressing
Take me back I plea thee.
Take me back,
Into the epoch of ecstasy and true happiness
As her smiles and dimples gladdens all sundry.
Take me back,
Into the epoch of beauty
Where I stare endlessly into her glittering eyes
That inspires my tender heart and waiting ink.
Oh take me back I plea.
Take me back,
Into those memorable salient days
That her sight I never lose,
For it puts lingering smile on my soul.
Take me back I plea thee
If thee have little spot for me in you
Be of good cheer and Samaritan and take me there,
For soon or later, my candle will burn out
And the pleasure in me dies.
Thus, life becomes misery.
