Ovi Poetry

The goal is less than the journey

More skulls in the ice to bury

As the light enters our bosoms

Their bodies were robbed of free will

The saviours came from within us

I sharpen key to our escape

I know our future will be real

The road to a brighter future

Internal flicker fed my hope

Inner strength would pervade all souls

In Kingdom free rules are proclaimed

Of heaving hearts with bitter mouths

Female wisdom slows down the fight

There is a new place for women

A new age dawned within the night

I see within futures we’ll have

Some wage wars in pregnant deceit

Under the pink gases we lie

In my spree there is path to God

Rock me baby on moonlit nights

Someday help will come to renew

I paved a way to sweet success

One world to foster with no haste

The light that grows fast within us

Petals above my head bloom bright

In becoming
