Soulmate-Soul Lost

Losing her soul to the whirlwind Her spirit stolen by rainstorm Body of her became a sacrifice To the turbulent blizzard. Once upon a soul mate We both danced in the day And we have both thrust Our feet together in the dark I had thought I was the only key to her heart Until I met the door I left clogged opened My luggage packed outside in the rain. I knocked the door endlessly Still under the bashing of A heavy clatter of water from the above Visibly shaking, fidgeting Like a lost pullet with no mother I heard a heavy laughter from within I peeped through the window Nothing in sight to behold In my world, rain stopped To me alone, it was no longer raining Heat came over me from within My head ran fast as I became hot Is she inside all the while? Has somebody replaced me? No, rang through my medulla oblongata Basking in the effusive Hymns of “forever together” “Bad thought of a bad dream” I chorused to ‘self The masculine laughter reverberated With a ugly but husky voice This time accompanied by a very Feeble but familiar sonorous voice Playing the Juliet to the Romeo’s laughter I am dead, I’m finished My soul mate, now soul lost? Life stared at me without a sire Alayade Stephen T. 20th of June 2007 03.52pm NB-Written in Iba,(Ayos) in the house with me, Expecting a Mary, and Izobo daughter.
