Daniel Omaya

Like caressing tides in a stream,
You sweep across my heart
Gently, and I never get hurt:
You're my perennial dream
...

All cannot be described
For when we met,
We became tourists bound by destiny
Hardly did we know one another
...

Do not look away in disgust
While you move past that child
He is naked, starved and desperate
Like fish in a drying river
...

I thought she loved me
When fondly she looked into my eyes
And with her I got such hugs
That I felt I could never lose her
...

When they call me mad man
With almost a cloth none,
When they call me a poor wretch
Who can not but my life sketch;
...

Loot me into your Heart
For in you, I am part
And you, in my heart, cannot depart
...

Dry wind blowing through the air
Depriving the atmosphere of moisture
Sun rays piercing through the ground
From dawn to dusk
...

What do you do
When you seek medication
At the hospital
But the desired doctor is no more?
...

Call it forgiveness,
When you haunt me with memories of wrongs I did
Forgetting the confessions I made
And you, you said it’s okay – that we can start afresh
...

Grass-thatched
Termite-eaten
Weakly founded
Door less- that was my home.
...
