‘ THE SOJOURNER’S ORDEAL’ & ‘DANCER’ (two poems by Arisno Nwankwo Isaiah O.)

THE SOJOURNER’S ORDEAL

I wish I could come again
With gigantic wings
And not on the wooden stone sit
Then songs of peace my lips would kiss

I wish I could come again
To meet this gory milieu monster- brothers free...
Let my Melody heal your bones...
And make you smile at your home...

I wish I could come again
To let you visualize my pains...
From the shackles of this ghetto
This body embarked on a journey

I wish I could come again
To tell tales of the prophetic doom
Make you see the eternity hidden
For tales hidden are more than mortals...

I wish I could come again
To take you with me away from pains
And you shall smile with me...
Your eternity then your soul wins...

I wish I could come again.
         Like a bird or a flower
            To be with you in the hour
                 When silence reigns supreme

I wish I could come again...
