Desire!



Your dark-pupiled eyeballs,
Soft and tender
As two almond fruits,
Pierces through my weak
But stronger globes;
It steers my fragile soul
Vehemently astray!

How my lips quiver
At the fragrance of your presence!
My arms long for an embrace
Around your warm shapely form.
Yet, none of these would I have,
But to pinch your lovely heart
With my slim fingerly words.
Else, I would be far gone astray!

This is true; this is not lust.
One day, we may come through;
Then, I will fold you in my arms!

But hence,
Let it seem as though
We never really cared!

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…
