We were different people
not where we are today
our songs rang with harmony
fair haven, beating hearts.
But,
just before the sun went out
right when the words tumbled out
the world lost shape too
a journey of no return
Go, see the trees
stripped of cover and leaves
nude branches bathed in nothing
that’s where we now are
‘cos
with you went the sun
the warmth that clothes my naked frame
air seeped out, punctured tubes
empty minds, blank thoughts…
Oluwole.
Captivating!
