Tell Me What You've Seen

Tell Me What You've Seen

Written By Anngelica-Marie Omekwa Eshesimua

The Places you've been...

Bumbling brooks, steady streams

Bursting dams, softened screams

Water falls, rising spring

Heaven brings

You back to earth...

The Places you've been

Lock Me Down

Lock Me Down

Written By Anngelica-Marie Omekwa Eshesimua

Love and locks

Not the locks glistening on the Seine

made for two, 'til the end. No...

The ones on my head

Twisting and turning 'til the end. Yes!

Bound from root to tip

Crown emerging from within

Love and locks

TOPS | The Personal Series

This Top is Older than Me

This Top is Older Than Me

Written By Anngelica-Marie Omekwa Eshesimua

History woven into the fabric

Silk, saying "You can have it"

Walk in there boldly

"Ruffle feathers"

My mother told me

This is an armor

She has bestowed me

A Silk shield that enfolds me

A Sequins of Fortunate Events

A Sequins of Fortunate Events

Written By Anngelica-Marie Omekwa Eshesimua

Tiny little fragments

Make up a life

Woven in a pattern

Catching the light

Picked and Prodded hands

Clothe your bare skin

Calloused living hands

Saw you would win

SHOES | The Personal Series

A Day In My Mother's Shoes

A Day In My Mother's Shoes

Written By Anngelica-Marie Omekwa Eshesimua

Walk the walk

And talk the talk

Of Queens dethroned

Yet reigns retained

Of battles fought

And wars to wage

Foundations forged

And seeds sown

Go on daughter

Let it be known

TAILORING | The Personal Series

Mother Pearls of Wisdom

Mother Pearls of Wisdom

Written By Anngelica-Marie Omekwa Eshesimua

Your shoes should always

Match your bag

Make sure your chest

Never sags

Walk up the stairs

In parallel

A lady must have

A special smell

Steam your silks

Hand wash your linens

You wear the clothes

When you are in them

Mold the future

To you will

That, my dear,

Is how looks kill
