The Absence of You: Four Days of Soulful Poetry. - ISHEMA Toussaint

 Day 1


Sunshine

Day one without you, afraid
My soul's missing vitamin D, dismayed
Chronic illnesses await me, unafraid
But you told me we're connected, hope conveyed

Your "Hi" was the sunrise, so bright
"Good night" the sunset, a peaceful sight
Other girls are like artificial light, meaningless despite
Your shine captivated my soul's heart, a guiding light

No more osteomalacia, you're all I need
Good Energy, Motivation, hope, and happiness indeed
Like a tree ready to blossom, I'll succeed
With you behind me, even in the bad season, I won't recede

May God bless our friendship, pure and true
Our souls intertwined, forever anew
Day one without you, but I won't be blue
For I know our connection will always ensue.




Day 2


Two are Better Than One

The Bible was right to say that two are better than one,
For life alone is incomplete, a solitary run.
I used to think that needing someone was a weakness,
But meeting you has taught me the power of togetherness.

Before I met you, my life was a meaningless ride,
But your presence has filled my world with joy and pride.
God's creation is unique, and you're a precious gem,
Without you, life is dull, and nothing makes sense to them.

When I was alone, I struggled to understand God,
But now I can sense His love through you, which is not odd.
I may not see you clearly, but my heart knows you well,
As a painter, I'll color you to create a portrait that'll never fail.

My eyes may not have seen you, but my heart feels different,
The final result of the portrait will be perfect, and my eyes will love what's in frame.
May God bless our friendship, may it bloom forevermore,
And let our togetherness be the one that we all adore.

Day 3



Words from the Heart: A Message to a Dear Friend

My good friend, how are you at school?
Even though we're apart, I hope you know
That someone cares for you, and that thought
Brings happiness to your heart, I hope.

I'm too tired to write poetry tonight,
But when I woke up, you were on my mind,
And all my news, good or bad,
You're the first one I want to confide.

In the past, seeing others with their loved ones
Made me feel alone and sad,
But now I see their joy and remember
That God has blessed me too, and I'm glad.

Poetry is the language of the soul,
And I can't sleep without speaking to you,
For you are the one who understands
The depths of my heart, pure and true.



Day 4



Unique Love: A Promise

Day four without you, and I'm feeling so blue,
But hear me out, my love, this much is true,
I am not fake, I won't give you a replica,
Of what others have done, it'll be unique, like a paprika.

Love in movies, books, or poems I don't see,
For my heart speaks volumes, it's plain to see,
I'll do what it takes to make you feel loved,
My heart surprises me too, like a flower bud.

No one knows their heart, it's a mystery to all,
But mine speaks of you, like a lover's call,
I'll do things for you that no one else can do,
And when you think of me, my heart feels it too.

Give me a chance, my love, and I'll prove to you much,
That our love is real, and our friendship, as such,
May God bless us, and our love forevermore,
With you by my side, my heart will surely soar.
