Unrequited Love Poem by William Ndoyisile Somenze

They layed on the ground drained of life, encircled by only eyes, & a cry of a broken man, whose wail was like a lone seabird.

He stood there, with wounded vision, of his teary eyes irrigating animate souls, who went on an excursion to satiate a lonely heart.

In an attempt to tread on a path to appease the heart's unrequited request, apathy built a wall to let them penetrate her bosom, so averting responses that were expected from her.

They, dissipated, turned to a wisp of smoke as she molded walls of bars that not even their heat could melt to find a door to her heart.

Emotions; went on a voyage on the sea of their king's tears, an endeavor to find a vessel he's been seeking to dip his drying heart into.

But rejection was offered in a cup, to his insatiable drought.
