Below are few poems of Gabriel Eziorobo:-
#1 A CLUE
I really don't know
a secret in you,
because i was a baby
in his mother womb,
for nine months
without seeing the sun,
pondering day and night
thinking of what to do,
luckily for me
i fell asleep
in a secret town
surrounded with art
full of branches
with a secret in it
i find myself
a clue in it,
with the four-letters
everything is open.

in a secret town
surrounded with art
full of branches
with a secret in it
i find myself

everything is open.
#2 LIME-LIGHT
Every time i touches the light
i see you in the lime-light of my heart,
so deep in my heart
deeper than the ocean.
Every time i touches the light
i see you in the lime-light of my heart,
so deep in my heart
deeper than the ocean.
Every time i wanna say hi to you,
your eyes will be sleeping
in the night
so i felt,i was a pest to you
not to allow your eyes
to sleep well in the night
so i walk away
to the mountain
to fast and pray
for you to see the lime-light
in my heart,
so deep in my heart
deeper than the ocean.
your eyes will be sleeping

to the mountain
to fast and pray
for you to see the lime-light
in my heart,
so deep in my heart
deeper than the ocean.
#3 LIKE A RIVER
I was angry
in and out of me,
flowing like a river
in the river-side,
where it started
like a tumour
to my heart,
my heart was full of anger,
pumping in and out of me
like a river
in the river-side,
where i find her
the guilding angel
of my heart,
she is the one
or maybe she is
the healer
of my sickness,
i was wandering
like a river
in the river-side,
i find happiness with her.

#4 THE NIGHT
The night is dark
so the beauty
of the earth
is down.
The night is dark
so the beauty
of the earth
is down.
The night is scary
and those who wake-up
are the survivals.
and those who wake-up
are the survivals.
The night is the spirit-battle
so the night ask;
how was your-night?
How many people are alive?
How many people are dead?
so the night ask;
how was your-night?
How many people are alive?
How many people are dead?
#5 WONDER WONDER
My heart ceases
to function
so my brain
stops to think
so i wonder wonder,
where will i be?
My heart ceases
to function
so my brain
stops to think
so i wonder wonder,
where will i be?
The beauty,
of the earth
is fading
so the birds sing ah!ah!ah!
So i wonder wonder,
what does the song mean?
of the earth
is fading
so the birds sing ah!ah!ah!
So i wonder wonder,
what does the song mean?
The drummers drum
so the dancers dance
to the rhythm of the drum
so i wonder wonder,
what is the rhythm of the drum?
so the dancers dance
to the rhythm of the drum
so i wonder wonder,
what is the rhythm of the drum?
