I Walk Alone Poem by Michael Olajubu

I Walk Alone



I walk alone broken, unseen,
Batty emotions bash and cudgel my brain,
Fury within has no kin, though keen

That it makes my eyes water
To dare fate, lone like the moon
In dark island sunshine is taken for slaughter.

Of all the stars in my clan,
I, on dicky diet, clash for notice
Wearing wack reflexion like a man

Under sedation, under seduction
Of awkward silence; suffused with embalmer
Like one dead with pulses that won't function.

Cocoon me now, O death,
I am enmeshed in ablation, expiring
And left to walk alone; have my breath.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Isolation and languishing in solitude conjure feelings sour to the soul and unhealthy for others to embrace. Thus, 'I walk Alone' I believe has been able to portray what isolation does to people and at the same time, call on everyone to lend a hand and reach out to others. Read and enjoy.
