My heart was a vessel <br />Hungry for a morsel <br />My soul was cold <br />As dreams of the old <br />My cries were null <br />As tears of a water-fall….. <br /> Then all was history <br />Your love my story <br />…But now I’m unhappy… <br /> Because you’re away….. <br /> <br />On that May, <br /> On that day, <br /> Amidst blink-less eyes, <br /> Witnessing our love-lit fires <br /> Our fingers were lifted <br /> Blessed rings fitted <br /> Sweet vows exchanged <br /> No longer engaged… <br /> Our union was merry <br /> …..But now I’m unhappy… <br /> Because you are away… <br /> <br /> Last time you came…. <br /> My happiness I couldn’t name! <br /> Our boy on your arm <br /> Your smile was charm <br /> We kissed and hugged <br /> Sad moments were mugged! <br /> Your presence, sweet flowers! <br /> Our laughers, hot showers! <br /> ……But now I’m unhappy… <br /> ……Because you are away… <br /> <br />What is it in the heart that great minds cannot read? <br />What is it in the minds that great hearts cannot heed? <br /> My soul coldly burns thy memories closer <br /> I reach for my phone with the zeal of a grocer <br /> Your voice so real …touches me to the bone <br /> The background so a live my pains all gone <br /> But the line goes dead….. All time is spent <br /> I lie on bed, sadly coiled like a serpent <br /> Another time has come… for my long lonely night <br /> YES, I’M UNHAPPY… <br /> …..BECAUSE YOU ARE AWAY <br /> <br />(Wrote it when I was deeply missing my family.....)<br /><br />Meshack Sewe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-not-happy/
