A Sad Poesy Poem by Wesongah David

A Sad Poesy



To say I never loved, would be a lie.
And from experience can do a sad love poem,
Say,

In the deep of the moonless night,
When winds howl and Hyena’s scamper in fright,
I still think of how I used to cling tight to you.

Say,

When the owls scream in mating glee,
And I would look into your large liquid eyes,
Making love to you in a passionate hold of understanding.

Say,
To think I don’t have you any longer,
And feel like I’ve lost you, definitely lost myself,
In pity I still don’t even know the way forward without you.

To still write a sad poem the whole night,
Hearing the singing at a distance all washed out,
And the night more onerous without your presence.

But of what help will it be burning the midnight owl,
Thinking of the endless waltzes in the spring of eternity,
And see my soul wither, all lost without you.

A searching heart bleeding at the innocence of,
A ripe night in the presence of a tear filled bed,
Dying slowly at the thought of your lips on someone else’s.

I still love you, intensity same as before but,
The wonder of a lasting oblivion buries me,
A lost soul without you.

And the wish it is the last plea,
A pain I never experience again,
This making it the last ever sad poesy for you.
