Saudade

A nostalgic feeling drowns my spirits As I stare longingly at scalloped purple horizons Tacenda that hurts deepest core Of my lamenting soul Our small castle of love Swept abruptly in abluvion My broken skies still yearn For quiddity of the saudade The outlines of him Surreal In my dream that brought to me my wild longing I opened eyes to see Silhouettes of memories slipping to oblivion All promises of tomorrow Frozen in frigid space of today I had home in your arms I breathed there in your fragrance There were times I missed my childhood sunsets Then you offered me your twilights Then I fell for the stars I could see shining in your eyes I had slowly stopped spending my thoughts On my moments of euphoria of my past For you were the only one Who started making me feel alive In my each blinking seconds You had the magic to heal my scars With your softest words of embrace But the storm rose All tides washed away your footprints That I followed in limerance We were so near to perfection And when silence dethroned storm I frantically searched for you It's been a year And I am still longing To go back to your arms For that is my home Controlling my cries to tremble hard with my silent sobs A dream that broke me again tonight For difference between fantasy and realism has vanished to nowhere 15/02/2019 Sponsor-Edward Ibeh
