ZODML Poetry Corner - Love Apart by Christopher Okigbo

 
The moon has ascended between us, Between two pines That bow to each other;
Love with the moon has ascended, Has fed on our solitary stems;
And we are now shadows That cling to each other, But kiss the air only.
Christopher Ifekandu Okigbo (1930–1967) was a Nigerian poet, who died fighting for the independence of Biafra.
