I Miss You Poem by Raimi Babatunde

When you left, I was empty 
you took a part of me away
and travelled with it.
In my sleep I swayed and moved 
dancing to the rhythm of the flute we played,
but the sound is no longer intriguing 
like the times you pressed the notes.
 
I prayed to the gods for your safe return 
offered sacrifices for favour.
You are my yesterday, my today, my tomorrow 
even when your clothing mask your beauty
it still radiates like the stars beautifully tucked above.
When I swim in your river of dreams 
I get drunk in the desire to swim therein forever 
 
I miss you like NEPA, my paradise 
I cuddle your picture all day long
a perfect definition of insanity I guess.
Your absence makes me feel banged up
I just want you by my side now and forever 
for a re-union will be worth all the gold in the world.
When are you coming back my Paradise?
