A Confession From The Other Man

A poem by The Other Man telling his love about himself and the things he had noticed in her behavior.

The society

A society created for order. All wars have been settled and there is peace. Only clear skies ahead for this community. But that is not how it goes. In the so called order, there is chaos. In the proclaimed peace there is conflict. Within this society there is division, And all are not united. A society should be either white or black, But there is a plethora of grey. Good and evil, mix together till they are indistinguishable. The society can never be perfect, It can never be truly clean.

Homelands

A simmering anxiety underpins Homelands , the quietly arresting debut collection by Eric Ngalle Charles, a Nigerian poet who now resides in Wales. One poem that captures this sense of uneasy displacement is “Zugunruhe,” which takes its title from the German word for “migration restlessness.” The poem opens with the image of a bird, whose “black feathers glitter” as “[s]he smiles despite wounds / on her left ankle.” For Charles, the migratory bird is a metaphor of sorts for all migrants, and its

A FRIEND INDEED

Tells you he will forever stay true to you, But in reality, stays until through with you. Takes from your thirsty soul that cup of water, Pours it into his over flowing well. Takes your last coin, Makes up for the ninety nine he has. Takes your secret, Keeps it with the wind. Takes the thirty pieces of silver, Gives you in with a kiss. Takes it all from you, Leaving you so in need.

TRUE HAPPINESS

I searched for you, And you seemed to hard to find. Some say that you are in their riches, Others say you are in the pot bellied man who spends nights drowning in bottles. I searched high and low, Near and far, Still wondering where to find you. Another said that you are in fame and power, The other said that you are in beauty and glamour. But little did I know that you have been, And you are all around me. In the dawning of a new day, In the smiles of a little child, In the gentle touch of the

SHUTTERED

A wayfarer I have become on this desert, with pebbles in my shoe. With empty pouches, anxiousness makes my mouth dry and all I hear is the complaint of my belly. My HEART and MIND at war and I wonder, what will become of me if their mockery becomes ugly with time. And my wobbling limbs on the other hand will be out in no time, and for a second my death wishes were flashing before me. A seal is all I need, for I believed the wind will carry my wishes to my loved ones. To be dressed, viewed by all

In Prison

In Prison Around me are walls That keep me from leaving. All I see are only corners With no doorways or passage. With nothing around to see But same all things every day, I remember the days Way back when I was free: The walks which I used to hate Because they kept me sweating Under the scorching heat Are one of those I want the most. I miss the loud honking of horns That angry motorists blew As they maneuvered through the crowd Of the never-ending traffic jam! Those beaches that I used to go Wi

Sunrise

Remember when the sun rises, and how beautiful it was that morning, It started to soar higher, to meet its delightful beginning. But not for us, have you forgotten? the daybreak knows why we parted, and how we ended things between us, It was the ending that got me unsettled. As much as the sun knows most of it, It is aware of my fear and shock, however, I understand myself more deeply, for it doesn’t know how much I want you back. So when the sun greeted the morning with joy, and welcoming it to
