Empty Nest

Insomnia is an ally of restlessness;
While trauma, a result of feeling helpless.

Trapped between two evils—what a dilemma!
How I wish for temporary amnesia.

Believe me, I didn't pray for idleness,
Which only aggravates my being hopeless.

I long to see a host of gumamela
In a backyard with an old, tall acacia.

When will I ever make love with happiness?
I'm very tired of wallowing in sadness.

Belovèd, I need your taste and aroma;
Save me from turning into an amoeba.

I'm dying nightly because of emptiness!
I'm living in a house, but I am homeless.
