The Pangs Of Separation Poem by Professor Dr. Stanley Collymore

I do feel alone but in no way lonely; nevertheless the
rhythmic balance of assuredness that has always
characterized my life, which I’m openly proud
of, and have always quietly but resolutely
encouraged has quite surprisingly been
critically assailed by recent events:
not least of them the unforeseen
entrance of you into my life
and in a manner that only
a short while previously
I would have sworn
was practically impossible. Now with forced
circumstances causing you to be away
from me and leaving me here alone
I think of nothing else but you,
because I miss you so much.
Oh the tortuous pangs
of separation!
