Miss You

A mass of thoughts cascade upon my chest
each day that night comes
for I hover day by day at your door's step
but I see not your appearance

Flood of thoughts run within my mind
time to time that tic-tock of the clock
goes without a seconds wait
for I hover over emails I send each time
but I see not your reply

Wave of thoughts spill over my sense
I trudge around with heavy head
miss you
Imiss your uplifting words

Autumn leaves heavy with thoughts
for they awaiting your early morning sprinkle
miss you
miss you my lovely friend.

Note: A dedicate to a friend whose her words had for long heard, although I'm to blame. She emailed me then,"therein, I know she wanted to tell me something," but I was ill, I cannot stare at light. therefore I didn't check her mail for some days. Each day by day now I'm confusing...

Hi Afolabi, this is written from a worried and troubled heart. Hope you are now feeling better, and do write her an explanatory note; I am sure she will understand. // paul

Yes ma, I really do care for her, but all my effort to reach her was futile. Thanks for shopping, you're much appreciated.

I'm sorry to hear. I haven't been here as much as I like either. Hectic at work and my youngest has been sick.
