Natures cruelty by Emeka Ogbonnaya


In a forgotten land
there was a forgotten bird
who spanned the length of River Kyle
longer than Nile.

In a forgotten land
there was a forgotten fish
who swam the nooks of River Kyle
longer than Nile

The forgotten fish fell in love with the forgotten bird
For several full moons
Through fatal storms
And lethal waves
and their love?
was longer than Nile.

Such height of love
But they couldn’t build a home
They never would

And their tears?
Were heavier than mine.

Note.
This is a second poem am borrowing from outside my work. Written by a good friend Chukwuemeka Ogbonnaya
