1.4 ‘Love Cycle’ - Chinua Achebe

LOVE CYCLE

CHINUA ACHEBE

 

At dawn slowly
the sun withdraws his
long misty arms of
embrace. Happy lovers

whose exertions leave
no aftertaste nor slush
of love’s combustion; Earth
perfumed in dewdrop
fragrance wakes

to whispers of
soft-eyed light…
Later he
will wear out his temper
ploughing the vast acres
of heaven and take it

out of her in burning
darts of anger. Long
accustomed to such caprice
she waits patiently

for evening when thoughts
of another night will
restore his mellowness
and her power
over him.

1.1 A Patch Of Land

  A PATCH OF LAND SUBRAMANIA BHARATI   A patch of land I want, Parashakti- Give me a patch of land. On that patch of land, Parashakti, I want a house built for me. Its pillars decorated, Parashakti, And balconies painted white. Palm trees beside the well, Parashakti, With long fronds and tender nuts Ten or twelve. Those palms, Parashakti, The coconut trees, I want nearby. Moonlight should descend gently, Parashakti, Casting a gleaming veil of white. The soft cooing of the cuckoo, Parashakti, Should fall lightly on my ears. A gentle breeze should blow, Parashakti, And bring pleasure to my soul. A young wife I want, Parashakti, To share all these with me. Only joyful togetherness, Parashakti, Bless with poetry. Living in that open land, Parashakti, Be there to guard us. With the power of my songs, Parashakti, Enable me to defend this earth.

Born in Dayton, Ohio, to parents who had been enslaved in Kentucky before the American...
