Ivina Emmanuel Asoh Poet Rhyme

Stretches of Silence

Dewy-eyed, dragged on
With gaze upon 
Spectre brighter than a noonday
I caught her soul entwined in the web
But lack what to say, like a play

Even with this swift communion of a babe
Entangled in the slying-coyness
I still let her feel the beat of my shyness
Trapped in the stillness of her eyes 

But not to let go for long
Holding onto parts rendered undone
In our vacant gaze towards the rising sun
Made more severe by the sudden bright ray shone

I know she could melt a heart as snow,
Bring me the stars if feelings were made to show
Her heart always as pure as gold
Yet, I let her vanished into her fold

Would she ever feel my absence?
Would I ever catch glimpses of her presence?
Oh, would she ever cross this path again?
For I have spent years hoping forever in the rain in vain.

Ivina Emmanuel Asoh October 30, 2020 at 11:28 PM This poem demonstrates how human needs and cares are very essential and should not be negleted when they so need them because, we also will need someone someday to lean our shoulder on. It also portrays how we ought not to miss opportunities rather, we should expliot and utilise them for good.
