Getting used to saying goodbye
Fate sealed, sentiments override.
Bosom swells with bridal expectancy
Heart aches from years of loving solely.
Had my beloved taken the remedy
My beloved would’ve healed spiritually.
Friend buries even the best of people
As corpse is nothing but remains
And spirit and body are unlike even at the best of times.
So long, Mogadishu, so long:
For me, my nostalgia
As for you, your lost innocence.
(c) Safi Abdi...2009
