My AnguishA Poem by Folagbade Muyiwa
Trapped in the closet with you
With silence as chief Our eyes were locked And hearts mulled over The lightening from the sky Flashed your depthless smile The rumbling of the thunder Introducing perplexity Sweetness will describe this My mind whispered But your shallow smile Was a handwriting on the wall Uneasiness began to set in As raindrops hit the roofing My heart didn't skip a beat It saved it for the misery it forsaw As you placed your lush palm on my cheek My nerves chorused a chill Really was I with bated breath Having no telltale of the handwriting When you opened your mouth to talk My heart well-nigh broke lose And your sole statement Made tracks for myisery Tears rolled down my cheeks As you hoofed it to the door And let me To salvage my smashed heart alone © 2014 Folagbade MuyiwaAuthor's Note
