Farewell To My Joy Poem by PROMISE ITA OKPOHOUDEME

Thanks for the brief presence together
Let it not be an history
That once we're on a tree
Only time flies us together.

It was nature passed away with us
But time has come and parted us
You were Joy, and I was Promise
At this grave may we hello our demise.

Beautiful is you like a footwear
No matter the weight, Men set no tear (s)
But, on your voyage prays I
That the Sky lightens the weight of my lie.

My heart, you'll never live displeased!
Let the Sky smiles over your mistakes
But watch, lest you faint
In every draft, what's your gain.

Yes, pain is real as Death
But, for Joy why will eyes wept
In trivial failure hearts kiss the wealth
In trivial issues Life rapes the lock.

The story is true as you and me
In this modern dark forest
Where true love lacks bed to sleep
That we from the window look and peep.

Wait, must this world ends in Twitterpated turmoil
Disrupting the amorous feeling abruptly
When we're enamored with them solely.

'I didn't like you', mouth says to heart
' We're not dating, but having fun'
' I have a guy, I love my guy'
' Don't call me again, It is over'.
It is no Nollywood but sweet lines from her
She whose tomorrow is firmed
Life and fortune in constant terms
A single tree of the forest!
A woman not our human.
