Fleeting Feeling Poem by Tobi Adebowale

For long
I wiled in solitude
Till you came along
To change my attitude
Concerning this feeling
That is never stable
But ever fleeting
And never predictable.

Inexplicable happiness
Came with your presence
But soon
Like the moon
Hidden by a dark cloud
You went with the crowd
And as you strutted away
Your invincible high-heels
Dug holes in my heart
Letting in pain
And letting out blood.

Like the setting sun
With the shine gone
Our romance went asunder
Leaving me to wonder
How come you were
And then you never were
I even ponder
If good things linger
For a little longer.
