HOW MUCH I MISS YOU (MARCH CONTEST)
HOW MUCH I MISS YOU
Never knew my emptiness
Often getting into restlessness
Remembering the part that's bloom
I sat alone in the room
Just at my door a resounding knock
I jumped up to open the lock
There your charming and radiant pride
Quickly my heart’s door opened wide
Your warmth I got for free
Your song whispered love to me
As I reminisce your smile
I wish you were here a while
Please stay with me forever
Remain to me a partner
Your absence gets me thinking
As my head keeps on aching

"Rhyming couplets in particular tend to trivialise content. Structurally meter is far more important and above all else is meaning. I did not get this poem. I wasn't sure if you were going for coy eroticism or chaste abs…" -

My flair for literary writing sprung up right from the time I was a student in the Secondary School, where I made a choice for the Art Department. The improvement on my innate potential propelled me to be an Author of more than fifty (50+) poems with dissimilar themes reaching; politics, love, friendship, religion, love e.t.c.
I am persistent and uncompromising in my pursuit for spreading wide morals, values and the beauty of nature.
My choice of poem is Quatrain and my theme varies from; love, nature, religion, life, death and politics. I am a brilliant young poet pouring out more and more rhythms of poetry in songs and pure lyrics.
