Farewell Poem by Joshua Adewumi

I thought the seasons will be eternal,
and will turn golden from moon to moon.
I thought the sun will always stay,
and make these days live forever.
I thought the autumn wind will remain
to change every leaves in me,
and your words with the taste of spring
will bloom the flowers of passion.

Babe, I thought we've found it right,
but these pictures I'm seeing,
were not the thoughts I captured.
That fateful day we met
was the day my mortal mind melted
from the believed radiance of your beaming beauty
that belied your soily soul!

They say the smithy is harsh and good for gold
and tiffs can make true love thicker.
Ours sources and spread like ripples,
and enacted scenes that were riddles.
Before the tree could stand the storm,
the commensal bird had find its way.
It was hard to swallow and
harder to vomit
As a tiff turns to a tussle
Leaving three eggs for me bundle.

I never knew you were the tarrot
until I heard you say the omen.
From the beginning, you know the end
Your portent was bitter on my palate.
Yet, you worth to take a farewell.
But before I let your shadow fly,
It has some words to swallow
and some thoughts to digest.

I grew muscles to make you believe
there is no world better than ours
Although you will be better with an angel
no living one can give the warmth in my wings.
Yet, you made yourself a Primma Donna
seeing me as irony of your dreams.
Shame to the arrogant sun!
Rain shall soon fall.

This is your farewell:
I wish it won't be far before you have a fair thought.
I know only time could tell,
For with time I will be gay again
But all times be straight with you.
Now you will go, but I won't say goodbye.
But if you never surface again,
I'll be lucky to have fallen in love for you.
