Sieving the Heart

Sieving the Heart

A Poem by Alex odhiambo
"

This poem is about love; at personal level and towards family members. The poem tries to dig deep the issues related to love and the achievements of those who persist in genuine course of love.

"
Pushing harder
Down the simmering river
Only the whistle of the valley
Will stop my clandestine stake
The embargo imposed
By the snowed rents
Will not avert the moaning monsoons

Though the ethnography is at risks
Soiled folk! They say
But the battle is on
To unburden the Napoleon cross
And take on pope Urban's decree
To claim the holy fondness
Primed to neuter the ancestral shrine

On a lonely pilgrimage
Roaring like desexed lion
Left and right
No wall to lean on
Fear and pity are only friends around
But am ready to sieve the heart
Clean the soul
Receiving the love
Thanks to sieving
