By OKECHUKWU VITUS:
NIGHT POET
I once by his door
He is the night poet
He never desire poetry
He made no effort to
But at night he is a poet
That could win many awards
Even for a noble price
When his love has come
I could not understand it
Such a person existed
Nobody could tell me why
I couldn’t believe it
So one day in our community
I walked around a compound
And I could hear him
And the poetry he brings
And he wanted with joy
That I have never seen in him
For the past twenty years
“Love took hold of me,
It has changed me
It is the real me.
It took my heart
And my whole being away,
I am in your love lost”
I could not believe it,
In the morning I met him
All with good poetry
And there is no poem for me
And at such I understand it
Love made him sing.
