Ode To A Demigod: A Poem by Chukwuemeka Oluka
O demigod, to know you is to know the finest
You may not like these expressions
But I’m sorry, I just can’t help it
Mortal and near celestial realm
Clothed in flesh, breaths air of gods
You are neither God nor man
Half human, half deity, you sprawl through
Who can find me a demigod like you
Who shall I compare thee with
Shall I compare thee to a mere creature
With divinity, I dare compare thee
In realms where mortals dare to thread
My demigod, for my sake, goes with might
Two hearts united has one
Only a demigod understood it all
For my gain, you fought my pain
How do I deserve the love? I ask
In your warmth, I feel calm; I feel light
From zero to hero, my tale unfolds
With power from deep within I see you
O, you commune with humans and gods
You mediate, you make them one! Three!
You reconcile their raging differences
The boundaries you blur, you bridge
From Olympus to Earth, you melt the divide
You travel the mind with thy might
With all thy being and congregation
No one communes your splendour
For your company, I sold solitude to a hermit
Because I trade not the laughter you bring
In the colours, your story is told
You paint them in myth and legend
Your glory adorned with white and gold
The joy it radiates, evergreen
In my heart, it shone like a screen
The talking drum you beat
They wagged their tongues in bits
The talk of the town you became
To set their dark muse aflame
I, a constant guest, when the king dines
What can I say when you desire no praise
My thanks, my debt, I will pay
Whenever push comes to shove
When life’s billows, you face a troubled sea
Your demigod, shall I be seen
Our estates will groan in love
I will travel the length and breadth
For you deserve better than just an ode
