Hollow Palm Leaves Poem by Ibrahim Sambo
Hollow Palm Leaves
Like palm leaves
Without the breeze
The stillness of the heart
Without its beats
Like the ocean
Without its waves
Your absence
Engenders a silence
Melancholy
Of dawn
Without the dew
That washes its face
For the morning.
'Wrtten on
28/5/2005
on vacation at Yola, Nigeria.'
You have created the emotion of loneliness. I sense there is a love that can not be erased by time or separation. Nicely done.

Absence is like 'the melancholy of the dawn without dew', a nice imagery.10 for it.
