Ode To A Journeying Friend Poem by chidubem okeke

IN BETWEN THESE WALLS OF TEARS
CARCASS LAIN WAS MY SORELY FEAR
LOVING MOMENTS ALL WAS HERE
AND YOUR SOUL TOO DEAR TO TEAR

IN THESE JOURNEY TOO SHORT AND UNFAIR
WHERE OUR HOPES WE DID PAIR
TO SEE HIS SHARP SPEAR
PIERCED THROUGH YOUR LIFELESS PEARL
AND YOUR SOUL DID HE NOT SPARE

LOOKING DEEP TO THE EARTHEN HOLE HERE
WHERE MY BELOVED, YOU LAY IN SHARE
MOURNERS IN TEARS AND STARES
COULD I EVER LAY MY CHEST ON YOUR BEARD
FOREVER SAYING GOODBYE TO MY BELOVED WHO FARES
