permit me not to dawdle
here the screaming silence
has only me as an audience
shackled in this residence
in who shall i place my confidence
when your much desired presence
continues to linger in absence?
with whom will I share the fondness
a gale of togetherness pleasurable
and immeasurable
in this screaming silence?
the dusk’s chill intense
my intent transcends concupiscence
loneliness is what attacks me with fierceness
in fairness i want you in earnest
beloved bintu emotion rushing high
your approach not nigh
and like a pestilence this screaming silence
is hitting hard against my faithfulness.
