Oluwasola Elisha Poet Blank verse

Mystery

I want more of what I cannot get enough of
There is this longing 
Yearning 
Craving 
Wanting 
Depth and void that seem to be continually empty
No matter how hard I try
I feel like I am missing something 

Something exciting 
Yet cannot figure it out 
Something so tasteful and sweet
Yet I cannot have a taste of 
Something so powerful 
Seemingly going to be wonderful
Yet, so hard to figure 

For how long shall I this longing last?
For how long shall I crave this mystery?
Or you will forever remain a mystery?
What exactly Are you?

Alobu Emmanuel November 5, 2023 at 2:45 AM Mystery. This poem is relatable. There are certain moments in life when we kinda feel empty and void. Like, something is missing. Something inexplicable. But we go on and keep believing, anyway. Also, the rhetorical questions raised in the latter part of the poem are insightful, and could serve as grounds for reflection and discovery. A brilliant one. Kudos.
