If I could make your name short,
And possibly call you Dave.
If I could rest you in a cot,
And watch you grow into a cove.
Then you'd be as peaceful as a dove
Then you'd live to see many years
God would fill you with his love
And always wipe away your tears
So, may the Lord make you wise and clever
May He bless you forever
Emmanuel S Aporu Dec 2023
Dark nights have faded - they had no power
Truest joys of life have now infected every hour
Bright loves now blossom and gently flower
And so, all such things that we proudly call 'our'
Emmanuel S Aporu Oct 2023
Love is the engine of humanity -
The fountain when my life's lost.
Love is the limitless reality -
That has had my heart and soul totally engrossed!
Emmanuel S Aporu Oct 2023
Our troubles have truly overwhelmed us.
Afflicted we are by this unknown curse.
Everyday has had its lights extinguished,
And every hour has been but clouded in mist.
Emmanuel S Aporu Oct 2023
The wind made the earth's constituents rise in a spiral fashion
And that cyclone-like sight gladly amazed we
All our worries seemed lost in that temporary hallucination
For nothing before had had the power to set us free
Emmanuel S Aporu Oct 2023
Each mind poured into the other the anguish it bore
For agony had characterized their lives heretofore
Their skulls couldn't contain the weight of their commotion
So their hearts broke down as the only sign of devotion
Emmanuel S Aporu Sep 2023
It has been decreed that all broken hearts must meet.
And let it be known that it ain't a simple meet and greet!
You must come only if your heart is severed,
For we shall weep and wail like the beleaguered!
