Longing Poem by Abubakar Ahmed Imam

I want to behold your face
On the belly of the horizon
Growing darker and darker
Until it bursts
Into a soothing frenzy

I want to view your smile
On the stretch of the horizon
Flickering
Lashing the eternal expanse
Of the skies

I want to hear your voice
Rumbling across the horizon
Deafening echoes
Reverberating
Roaring like a hundred lions

I want embrace your presence
And sniff your breath
As you descend upon us
Dripping
Healing a thousand ailing hearts.
