By Henry Akuete
In the space called life
lurks beings in the dark and the light
those that move and those that touch
some come to stay and some to nought
i feel the lot and none is awake
i seem like the only one in the day that breaks
yet in the last days i found a soul in the dark
with a torch that brought the spark
its a she! my heart alights
i feel the essence that eludes my eyes
she connects beyond the physical
with a bond akin to the chemical
i feel alone no more for another
for a kind of another mother
out of the dark she came
and darkness fled her flame
oh i seek no more for one
for all i seek is now undone
my eyes can now retire
for i found what i once inquired: The ONE I NEVER MET
