Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Free verse

Beside Myself

Oh, I believe I deserve to hurt,
The day’s slipping by
as the sun pours molten orange
along the western horizon
forging a shield of darkness.

Now as a robust moon rises
to embellish the night sky,
I am beside myself 
and in the throes of frenzied agony;

After much beseeching
She finally consented to moonlight rendezvous—
but where?
For the life of me I just couldn’t recall!
