The Spell Poem by Padmore Enyonam Agbemabiese

any time the sun rises
it is your face I see in the sun

every morning when I wake,
I awake with your thoughts with me

at night when I sleep
I see your eyes in my dreams

and when I hear your voice
you put a smile in my heart

I can still smell you breath on my face
though you are miles away from me

many a time I try to forget you
but I cannot sleep without mentioning your name

how can I go away
from this everlasting spell

so come to me in my dreams
that by day I shall be well again

wherever the wind blows
it brings your name to my mind

if I can tell the truth
I cannot live when you are far

I know my heart yearns for you
I know my soul longs for you too

no matter what, I thank God for someone like you
who teaches me love

so I pledge to keep this burning ache
deep inside in my heart...till the end of time
