Lonesome Poem by Fadhy Mtanga

Is me
Without you
Is me
All alone.
When
You’re not
Here
By my side.
I sense
Your presence
But
I see
Your absence.

Lonesome
Without you
My
Confr’ere.
I am
Suffering
The most.

Without you
I sense
This
Concuss.

Waking up
Every morning
Trying
To look
Around.
No body.
No body
Since
There’s no body
I am
All alone.






I perceive
Before
I perambulate
During the noon
That I am
All alone.
My body
Begins
To perspire.

The sun
Goes West
And the darkness
Fill my room
I then start
Looking
All around.
Only
To find that
I am
All alone.

On
The table
For
Dinner.
I need
Someone
Like you.
To share with
My meal.
Still
You’re not,
By
My side.

My bed
Welcomes
Both
You and me
But
It’s only me
Before
My bed.
I can hear
My heart
Calling up
Your
Name.


Ooh baby!
Come back
Soon.
Before
Love do
Some
Delusion
To
Me.
Listen to
My words
In
Concinnity.
I need
You
To be
By
My side.

You’re
My nosh
Quench me
When
I am
Thirsty.
Cool me
Down
When
I am
Hot.
Satisfy me
Fulfill
My
Concupiscence
Of
Sensuality.





Come
Back.
Ooh,
Baby!
Make me
Strong
When
Frail.
Strengthen me
When
Weak.
Refloat
My feelings.
Rejuvenate,
Relieve
And
Govern
My mind.

Lonesome
The word
I hate.
I hate
To sing
Of
Loneliness
And
Despair.
Mesmerize
Me
So
Passionately.
Before
I do
Some suicidal.
Because
I am
Tired
Of being
So
Lonely.





Lonesome.
Lonesome
Feelings.
Lonesome.
I need
To sweep away.
These
Lonesome
Feelings.
Because,
Lonesome,
Is me
Without
You.

Ooh,
Please baby
COME BACK.
