there are some poets who you read and they give you a rushing inspiration to write more, better than muses from nature..... But when such a poet leaves, it's harder to write again

For my Friend Sydrivers who left this beautiful HP
I hope I get to read his works again

"SYDRIVERS LEFT HP"

Not a poem

I am sad to know that my very good poet friend Sydrivers has left Hello poetry,
I was quite away and on coming back here, I noticed he's no more here
It pains me so much and grieves me,
Now this place can't be the same without him

Sad

Gloom

RAINY DAY.....

today, the sky smells dark and it's pouring out all her tears on earth

Earth oh Earth dances to the blossoming wet tears from Sky

I have been travelling to and Fro and as a result, I've been off site for a while.
Hopefully I'm back and I have a long reading to do. Please bear with me, I'll start commenting soon
Regards

"These Days of Colors"

These serene days,
Where blue is the wind's muse
And Red the sea's Fume
Where white covers the skies
And grey, separates the cloud from the sky
These days of rushing hours,
Where Men are saddened from thoughs of yore
And children starving from pains of now

In these solemn days
And harsh nights
I will take my chances
And stand
Stand for what is right
In these days of colors

*Ovi Odiete©

I find it quite difficult to write more these days,
I know the muse will come again

WOMEN HAVE RIGHTS...

Women have rights,
Right to life and right to speech
Rights to love and be loved

Feelings and emotions running wild,
Right to vote and be voted for
Feelings of happiness running high

Not to be harassed or blackmailed,
Not to be abused and relegated
Women think too
Respect the girl child,
And tender her
Give her the right words
And build her ego

if a man can lead the world,
A woman can heal the world

PARADISE BLUE

A Collaboration between Ovi Odiete and Evna-Luna

Bring me rain, rain, boom

Bring me rain, rain, rain,
Let it boom or blossom due
Sunsets kissing the earth
Sky filled with crimson's view
Flow river flow,
Run, earth run
Bring me days unending waves
Days unending tales
Bring me rain, rain, rain,
Let it boom, flow, grow
Evna-Luna©

Sun kissed earth adore the air
Mild blown tears falling freely
Give me paradise, blue or white
Give me years true or through
Bring me rain, fall, fall
Days of glowing health
Trees on river's fronts
Bring me through a broken seal
Give me love that sweeps me in
Bring me rain, rain, boom
Ovi Odiete©

Give me night, nights, boom
Watch me moon, stars, sky
Give me paradise blue, white, blue
Bring me rain, fall, boom
Give me days unending bliss
Give me years unending peace
Bring me glow, glows, boom
Give me earth and paradise blue
Watch me sleep, dream, boom
Bring me paradise blue or white

Don't we all write poems?

What then is the poem?

The poem is a sword too sharp and piercing
Too vast and Strong
The poem bridges the gap between known and unknown forces
Between seen and unseen faces
The poem is a sword too sharp that cuts
Cutting through hearts and minds
The poem bridges the distance reached and unreached

The poem has its wings and aim to fly on its own
Don't force it to fly,
Let it fly and soar when its time comes
