DRACULINE: A POEM

You spend so much time staring
At my poems, at my lines
And when it is time for you to leave
You keep on adjusting your clock

But many have come before you
And many more are yet to come

They wait for me and wait for me
Until they forget my name
And how I made them feel

Now for the sake of all things true
Love the poems and not the poet
Don't seek for love
Where it cannot be found

My heart is a cold wasteland
And nothing true grows here
Wait for me but don't wait for too long
For I cannot give you what you seek

-Micah Ogugua
