SYNERGY by; Hannah Amma Konadu Anarfi

This pain

That brought me to this land

Cannot leave.

When it does,

I might die

When it disappears,

I won’t have you too

Sweet words

Ejaculated from the secret

Orifices of my brain

I might lose these

Turgid words

In constant, heated foreplay

With my heart

Now these tears

That wash

My soul out

And soak up

The night

With its overflow

Will dry up

When this pain leaves

I will die

Is it madness

That haunts me

And pushes me deep

Into the dark abyss

Of bitter memories

Each night?

Is it the hunger

To have you with me

That draws me

Into blazing fire - 

To the edge

Of hell?

I cannot

Stand to lose

What feeds

My fingers

When she leaves

Oh when this pain

Packs up

And leaves…

I will surely die.
