I'LL KEEP MOVING

I'LL KEEP MOVING

A Poem by Edmund S. Obumba
"

Its a true story about my struggle with unreciprocated love....Couldn't bear it anymore

"

I had this spark for you,

fiery like a brimstone,

stronger than Samson...

deeper than the abyss,so

so complete,had no crevice.


I tried my best to show it,

broke my bounds to make you feel,

walked on hot coal,trod on pins,

lost my pride,forsook my sanity...

but all I saw were your palms,

pushing me off the cliff.


I bled so much inside,

cried and blew my tears from my nose,

mustered up in public,

but sobbed in solitude.


For days I tried and I persisted,

but I kept falling further...

someday i woke up,

amidst the Vertigo,

the plunge,

and my ego arose like Lazarus,

From the grave my senses came to work..

and i thought:


"I wouldn't force blood from a guava"

so I enjoyed the fall,

and kept on moving,

I'll keep on moving,

from your aura...

and leave you to your own self


till then and forever,

ill be moving.

I think that is is a great poem, your have skillfully depicted many ofl the challenges, associated with being on the trailing end of a one sided love affair, and have effectively tapped into the subsequent emotional turmoil, with depth. Thanks.
