A Watch For Sureness



Just a tap at the door,
An angel's already by;
Thus, you know how alert
Heaven stands daily
Awaiting your call.

A watch for sureness
Set in heaven's court
Reads every mind
That stands knocking
On heaven's door.

To you who may care,
When you are true,
Be certain of your need
And stand in good plea,
Waiting meekly.
For that strong yearning
Do heaven's jury
Stand to dully grant
Unto those who call
In truth and peace
With pestering knocks
Of passionate hopes.

Pius Has Pagiel

Fresh and new, and young. Born in a village hospital in Ogidi, Anambra State of Nigeria on Tuesday, 26th September, 1989 to Mr. and Mrs. Pius Nwibo Onwe, who hail from Ndewugo-Inyimagu of IZZI LGA of Ebonyi State. My family name is Onwe Arinze Pius. Pius Has Pagiel is my pen-name. Some very close friends call me Soisese Oinese(meaning Success Onwe in my private language). I passed through Christ the King College, Onitsha and made one of the best results- I was science-inclined, though, I love literature very well. I won the best literature student award in first Senior Secondary School class before I dropped the subject for full science ones. Today, I am a student of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria. Luckily, I am into Architectural Studies, a mixture of Arts and Science. I love it. I wish to be a renown poet and author in the future. I like writers like Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Alfred Lord Tennyson, John Keats, Wilbur Smith and several others. Let's be friends on facebook. Search my profile: Pagiel Pius Has. Mail piushaspagiel@yahoo.com. Thanks. more…
