Steps into the Abyss

Paulo MuhongoPoem · 2 stanzas · 9 lines
This morning, as I made my way through
The mist-laden clouds,
Pedalling towards the unknown,
With every turn, my heart was torn apart,
Suddenly submerged in longing
For someone who remains absent, despite being near, out of sheer selfishness.
As the cold wind of the Tagus chilled my face,
Pure tears welled up from my heart,
Like water from a spring without a beginning.
