Am in love
(Poetry)
19-05-2007
by Peculiar Ediomo-Abasi
Life is surely full of ups and downs.
Sometimes it makes you frown,
It makes you look like a clown
And at last it keeps you looking for that town.
When you are so sad and want to cry
You can’t just help but wonder why.
Why me despite how I...
Climatic betrayal of love
(Poetry)
11-01-2010
by Peculiar Ediomo-Abasi
Our love was quite mutual at first
but man's crave to get to his best
in the great struggle for survival
led to this painful betrayal.
Man's ideas went out of sane range
and his involvement grew strange.
Man began to care less for me
and...
Crazy Again?
(Poetry)
14-04-2007
by Peculiar Ediomo-Abasi
Are you crazy again?
Why do you love the pain
It takes to grow so wild,
when you could be as mild
As mild as the little child
who seldom grows wild,
that when he is hungry
it doesn't get him angry?
Why not simply walk away
when they...
Elusive Angel

"It is not my fault
even though you feel hurt"
had always been your excuse
which is of course of no use.
You know I miss you
and truly miss you.
When then would you come to stay,
else i go astray?
Or should I totally forget you
and...
Express your love now!

I thought there might be another day
even though I say nothing today,
for me to tell you how much i love you
instead of assuming you would now i do
if i had known it would be the last time
i would watch you mime,
i could have spent an...
Gender Power
(Poetry)
4-02-2009
by Peculiar Ediomo-Abasi
She was to lead a group of males,
But, "NO!" she blurted. "I'm female."
Quite a lot she could have achieved
But engraved in her emotions,
It determined her direction.
The ego—he had it quite much!
But if he hadn't bragged too much,
Quite...
Glad I found you!

I was quite lonely
and it did make me bony.
I could only dream
when I relaxed at the stream.
I thought life was over
until you I discovered.
Thank you, friend,
for making that an end.
You have surely come to stay
so I will not go...
I feel your pain, big brother!

His world folding up before his eyes,
his eyes were most times turned up to the sky.
Not even a consideration of the least of all,
all that mattered to all was his fall.
Of a truth, he had been informed
but chose not to be conformed.
He...
Lone Child
(Poetry)

by Peculiar Ediomo-Abasi
Because i surfaced through a woman
by the handiwork of a man,
tradition calls her my mother
and also calls him my father.
But i refuse to consider them as such
even though left alone i don't do much.
i live by the saving grace of God
even...
Missing you...

I laid calmly on the sofa.
Done with my best for the day so far,
my heart clouded with nothing but you,
keeping me awake in the thought of you.
How tremendous is your company
that few minutes away from your company
is enough to make me...
Nigeria is 47
(Poetry)

by Peculiar Ediomo-Abasi
Another year has been added again.
In vain we might have tolled in pain
we must have made mistakes
and soiled the national cake.
That was then we would say,
for we are better than we were yesterday.
We can proudly say today
is indeed a...
Pull me up

by Peculiar Ediomo-Abasi
"Hurts surely have to come"
this i was told by mum.
This made me wonder
and could not but ponder
why we never do without it.
i have never wished for it!
But i just find it come my way,
What more have i to say?
I had felt dejected,...
Pure love
(Poetry)

by Peculiar Ediomo-Abasi
Some people have never known
And may never know
What it feels like to fall in love.
Because they keep looking at the wrong faces
And they keep looking in the wrong places.
Love can be absolutely sweet
When it is taken on a right treat
By...
Queen of my heart
(Poetry)
17-06-2008
by Peculiar Ediomo-Abasi
I watched my wife give birth to my child
and her pain quenched the fire that made me wild.
I wept from my debt
and could feel the depth
that my stone-hearted heart had created
and was surprisingly in a few minutes melted.
I hated myself...
Sweet Love

by Peculiar Ediomo-Abasi
I was dejected
and rejected
But he accepted me
and lifted me.
He has made it be
and as sweet as honey.
Though it sounds funny
but I tell you
He knows what to do.
It is the sweetest love...

Teenage pregnancy is on the high rate now, the statistic adds up as days go by. Many that have occurred had been out of ignorance and social norm. That is not my point of focus really, the area about teenage pregnancy that worries me is the...
Value life
(Poetry)

by Peculiar Ediomo-Abasi
We are the best of all creation
and the most delicate.
Why then should we abuse each other?
And be this wicked to each other?
The pain of seeing a loved one die,
is enough to make one ponder why.
Every human should be cherished and...
Why mum refused!

by Peculiar Ediomo-Abasi
I was sixteen years of age,
the least i thought of was marriage.
But like my fellow peers,
i threw away my fears.
And went down with a guy.
He was the least to make me cry.
I told mum i was in love,
but she yelled "Don't get involved"...
Will I ever see Bobby again?
(Poetry)
17-06-2008
by Peculiar Ediomo-Abasi
Bobby few years back was seven
and the love for me and his mum was even.
Life was cute and comfortable,
just as Bobby was fine and reliable.
Fun came to town one day
and frustration came to stay.
With friends I began drinking
and with...
World AIDS day
(Poetry)
25-04-2007
by Peculiar Ediomo-Abasi
Why gather we here today?
What am I here to say?
Today we have declared "WORLD AIDS DAY"
But will the promise come to stay?
Sad are we over those passed away
But many yet have gone astray.
Remorse and depressed are they...
Zip up

by Peculiar Ediomo-Abasi
You felt my presence
and loved the essence.
You asked for fun
I had to run.
I felt into sadness
as I felt your absence,
it caused depression
but i found protection.
Abstinence to the core.
Protection to the core.
If we must remain...
