Two Poems from our Inspirational Poems, Motivational Poetry Collection

 
 
PAST,PRESENTAND FUTURE
   
Author: Ikenna Uzomah
   
Poem:
PAST,PRESENTAND FUTURE
   
  they follow me
as i walk up the dunes
the trees hide them in their roots,
to spring up their stems,
and we cry to sunlight


i thought a while about the fish
in the sea,they move in
zig zad,circles.
why do we walk in a file?
if only we could wipe those litters:
arrows that shatter the heart.

i paint a picture in my sobber mind:
cobs after lion,boys after man,
(the fields still far far more ahead)
and i pinpoint a finish:
in the wide gullet of mother earth.

DIFFICULT AMBITION
   
Author: Ikenna Uzomah
   
Poem: DIFFICULT AMBITION
   

i saw the footprints on the sands of the oasis,
and the loamy soils around the rose garden,
i also saw prints on the mountains:
the strings that aid the climber, i also saw
them go the other way around;
(evidence of return,decent)

but i still look for the prints on the sky
around the moon,
and so i still stare up,neck bent,
cos she turned a million miles a metre
in the darkness of the woods,dungeon,
hungry heart when she smiled at me.


i saw me decend the valleys(i didnt know)
went anticlockwise(couldn't imagine)
high among the milky she holds my heart.
my feet never touched the ground:
no job,office,domain.

circles:the universe, clock ,and me,
impeccable gyration,for the arrow i fired
keeps decending,and so she still takes
me along(no direction)just the way it was
when i first saw her.
