The lonely poet   A collection of poems written by Adegboyega Steven O.  Author's note When we think about loneliness, we tend to squirm. But it could be a good and beautiful tool if used to write and think.  I hope, coming to my world you may see more than you expect and you may see less than you anticipated.  I wish you will have an open mind and yet understand my train of thoughts and intentions.

She stretched and let out a loud yawn. “I am so tired, but I can’t sleep!” Her voice echoed through the walls. She walked briskly to the door and opened it. She hoped she didn’t wake parents?

EPISODE 14 Oyetunde noticed when Boma and Promise came into the office. Despite the weeks that had gone by, he had not been able to get over her rejection. He speculated whether something was going on between them. They seemed to be closer than when they all started working at TL Communications. Boma settled down and turned his head when he sensed that he was being watched. He caught Kemisola and Adaeze staring at him. He waved and looked away. He didn’t like the way they were staring at him. He won’t be surprised if Adaeze also had a crush on him. “Birds of a feather,” he muttered under his breath. Why was he upset? He shouldn’t allow such things to annoy him. He had been through worse and he had escaped unscathed. He wished them well and prayed they find husbands to marry them as soon as possible. Promise arranged her things in her drawer and looked towards the notice board. Each column was covered with heaps of attached documents. “Lord have mercy,” she groaned. Boma ...
