YOU'VE BEEN GONE TOO LONG
I have missed you like drought misses rain.
I have missed you like Frankenstein's monster misses its brain
I have missed you like an addict misses pain
I have missed you like leaking water misses the drain.
How long must I suffer?
How long must I prove that there is no other?
How long must I ponder?
How long Must I wait for you lover?
I wish I knew you would leave
I wish I knew you I couldn't deceive
I wish I knew you were all I would want to receive
I wish I knew you I had to believe.
Countless nights thinking of you
Countless nights wishing to start anew
Countless nights the loneliness grew
Countless nights I wished I was a better man for you...
POET: SOLOMON MAOBA (@solomonsel)
Nice poem, @solomonsel. I hope you're happier now. It seems like it from your other posts.
Thank you. I draw these feelings and thought from my past experiences. I'm happily happily married now. But this has always been my type of poetry.
Loved the line "I have missed you like Frankenstein's monster misses its brain." In fact, it made me laugh.
I'm glad you like it. I thought I'd throw in a little humour in the gloom.
Good choice, to mix it up every now and then.
Dear @solomonsel, I like your poem. I can read it on my radio show Romance on the air on Saturday night if it is fine with you. Are you a member of discord? As I need you to be presence in the audience for me to read it.
Wow. Thank you so much. I would appreciate that. Yes I am on discord as Solomonsel.
