M Braimah Saaka Poet Free verse

Loneliness

I woke up this morning
I was all alone
The one from midnight
had flown away to
a land of mysteries


I stared at blank walls
Cursed the silent crickets
I imagined myself to
float over harbors
festooned in her colors


Then I knew what to do
Since you won’t come
I must go alone to
the quiet of your breath
ringing in my ears
