If You 're Not Here Poem by Emmanuel Joseph Olumakiss

If you 're not here;
Who could think I will live a life of bliss?
Knowing that love exist
When once in your hand I slip
Abyss my nearest trip

Will life be part of my wish?
When true love is out of my reach
Will the world be a better place to live?
When am no longer closer to my rib

My desires who will ever please?
Roaming the roads and mountain top
Unhealthy will my breathing be
Beckoning on sorrow for a walk

What becomes of me?
Sipping from a stagnant stream
Won't life depart from my being?
Once agony becomes my hymn
