    About this ebook

    Confluence of Random Thoughts is a collection of poems on diverse subjects. The collection is intended to provide pleasurable reading; however, some of the poems will provoke you to deep reflection as you may inevitably see yourself before a mirror.

    While the book is not presented to be used as part of an educational curriculum, I have no doubt that you may learn some lessons for life and living. I do hope you get as much pleasure from reading each of the poems as I have had putting them together.

    Author

    John Ogunwole

    The opportunity to observe, from a distance, the learning of some of life’s lessons, which in that instance was considered, by my young mind, as tough, provided the leap board for my venture into writing. From that early and unsure effort, I have consistently combined writing with my working career. One of the products is this book, Confluence of random thoughts. John Ogunwole is Nigerian and currently lives in Nigeria and Ghana after retiring from a wonderful career, which spanned more than twenty years, with the foremost oilfield service company. John is married to Lois Ogunwole and they are blessed with children.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
