Swallowed By Death

Mum!
Captured by hades
Demised in my infant
Leaving behind your ashes
Buried inside me in extant

Mum!
The cry of my heart
Speaks the pain I feel
Death splited us apart
Causing a scathe unhealed

Mum!
You're in hades also here
The spilt of your ink in me
Voices of your ideas I hear
Raising me to be Agee

Mum!
Gone but irreplaceable
Thoughts of your ink I still read
Your words are affable
Always here indeed

Mum!
Left without goodbye
And no chance of knowing you
Thoughts of that makes me cry
Just wanna say "I love you"

To my Mum Titilayo Joy Akingbotolu

Poet's note: This poem is to my late mother. I missed her and the pain of her demise is much that I felt like pouring it out on ink
