My Poem: "There is Something in a Name"
© Ifeoma Odinye, 2025

********+********
There's something in a name:
A thing not far fetched from the root of your umbilical cords.

There's something in a name:
The fluid in the blood which smells of ancestral pride

There's something in a name:
Your skin which binds you to tradition, the paths where your ancestors greeted seven spirits at crossroads without flinching

There's something in a name:
Your language which speaks with wisdom of the old without draining emotions

There's something in a name:
The power to rise with the kindred spirits
When seven rivers meet the eyes

There's something in a name:
A warlord strength to roar like a lion
and fight without letting your back touch the ground like the cats.

My Poem: "Friendship"
© Ifeoma Odinye, 2025

********+********
Friendship is not Named
It's an act that is not framed

Friendship is not about smiles on the face
It's about smiles in the heart in joyous phase

Friendship is not about closeness
It's about true love with openness

Friendship is not how long you stayed
It's about how true you stayed

Friendship is not praising on the lips
And backbiting from the same lips

Friendship is the need to support in love
And the willingness to stand for love

Friendship is not forced
It's an act that is spurred

My Poetic Muse: "I Owe Myself"
©Ifeoma Odinye

***************************

It's true:
I owe myself the loyalty of becoming strong
I may not know how to be strong

But:

I'm not dried-up
And I cannot rack my brain up
in a monologue that dries up

Sadness is not a life time
And every season has its time

Though my dreams are like a hill
But my MUSE will bring them at will

I may not know many things
But I know something:

The Sun does not stand still
And no rainstorm lasts forever!

My Poetic Muse: "Silence Speaks"

********†*********

We know one thing:
Silence has no mouth!

But we know another thing:
Silence can speak!

Yes, Silence can Speak!
It can speak a zillion thoughts in your soul
Without a push from the lips!

When you feel no energy for words
Silence can speak!

In this world, I have noticed that:

People break you first!
And your pretentious silence breaks you
deeper!
Then you keep breaking your heart for
being pretentious!

Being too silent is self-righteousness without gain!
It is an injury caused by others and incubated by self without pity!

Learn the path of freedom
Learn to live happily within yourself!

Freedom is not war
It's the wisdom in knowing your subtle path to peace of mind.

***Love ❤Rose to Meet Me**

Many things may not be right
But I know what is right

Love is right
And true love is so bright

In the day, I saw love
In the night, the universe sprayed me with love

Love rose to meet me at night
With the twinkling stars, it felt bright

The full moon cuddled me so tight
And silence spoke without a fight

I need not open my lips for nothing
For I have received something--
Many things in one thing!

I must confess::
Love rose to meet me!

**❤LOVE**

They said, love is a beautiful thing
That makes you think of one thing

To hold and to cherish
To fold and to perish

Love is not a consciousness
That breeds calmness

It is not a chaotic essence
That yearns for silence

It is a spark in the brain
A sweetness in the heart without the brain

It's the stars in the eyes
A vision in the mind without the eyes

It is a journey of two to be one
Senseless sense for two to act as one

Love is not a mastery of actions
It is a mystery that motivates actions

For:
When love calls, you fall
When love runs, you mourn

**You Are My Loveyzona**

My LOVE ❣️,

You can't catch me unfresh with feelings
In me are bubbles of glowing drops!

You can't lower your gaze in weariness
In my eyes are blazing magnetic softness!

You can't drop your hands without a touch
On my skin is the loamy fertile softness!

You can't think without my image circling you
In my heart, we have eclipsed to rise!

My Loveyzona 💗,

We Rise!
We are Rising!
Yes, We Rise!

**I Fell for Love**❣️ ❣️

I fell for Love before your very eyes
You watched with dreaming eyes
Love got me stuck in between things
Love got me sing in lyrics of praise
Love held me softly without voice
I fell for love with weakening spells
I'm totally overwhelmed
I need not wake up from this
I'm taken
I'm stuck
Sweetness! Calmness!
