Ruins

Falohun Honour Ayomide 2002 (ONDO STATE)

Free verse
RUINS
Sep,19,   2022


Slowly I watched you disappear
 Watched you burnt-out
 Should have kept my side of the bargain
 Instead I let it gain

It burns
 It hurts
 The warmth of my affection
 Fierce as fire if not tamed

I should have watched you glow
 Should have hid my desire
 But my emotions won't let go
 Instead it fed on you

I caused your ruin
 Oh dearest Gem
 You lost your beauty
 I lost my fury
 As the fire goes off
