Yusuf Abdulfatai Poet Ode

Presence In Absence

PRESENCE IN ABSENCE 
It been long, longer to say you've stayed
Bother not to knock at the neighbour's room for keys
That might have disturbed their sleeping pills
I lost all down the depth of bermuda without conflict 
Out of pictures came the memory lane to me piece by piece
Without vice versa exchange with the moon while still asleep 

If resurrection for death awaits to revisit
Welcoming without pass, passes through our gate
And when you set to sail home again without leave
See me as a whore in tempest, to rape the wind to ecstacy

Toast with the toasted bread that never ends eating alone
Let the moment go extra mile in mind with you, our walks only a mile can take for you
©Yusuf, A.O.
