" UNTITLED "

MEMOIRS OF THE PAST

“UNTITLED”

 

HOW CAN I FORGET THE PAST?

IT HAUNTS ME EVEN IN MY DREAMS!

I LET MY MIND WANDER BACK,

THE GOOD AND BITTER YEARS STILL VERY CLEAR,

BRINGING BACK THE PAIN OF LOSING

A DEARLY BELOVED

THE DEATH OF MY DREAMS AND AMBITION IN LIFE

 

I REMEMBER THE MOMENTS,

WITH THE BLUESEA JUST BEHIND US,

I COULD SEE NOTHING AND WAS

ALWAYS A JOY TO BEHOLD

DURING SUNNY DAYS AND MOONLIT NIGHTS

THE SEA WAS LIKE A DREAM…

A DISTANT DREAM TO BE SOUGHT …..

TO BE REALIZED

 

THOSE INNOCENT YEARS HAVE NOT REALLY GONE

FOR THE MEMORY STILL WITH IN ME

THE MERE SIGHT OF A SEA SHELL ECHOES…

THOSE BECKONING SHORES …

THE SOUND OF THE WAVES IN THE QUIET NIGHTS!

 

THIS CRAVING OF MY SOUL FOR THE BEAUTY OF LIFE

THE UNTOUCHED WHITE SAND ….

AND THE SEA … THE RAGING OF ANGRY WAVES

DURING THE STORM! I THIRST FOR THE MEMORY

YOU LEFT BEHIND

 

I HAVE TO FACE THE REALITY

AND LOOK FORWARD

ONLY THEN WILL MY MIND,.. MY HEART ….

AND MY SOUL YEARN NO MORE!!!

Author's Note

This not my poem but a friend's... but I admired it as I admired great poets... It's ironic this happens to me now having lost her ... I only hope she's doing well wherever she is.. and I hope somehow she will read this poem of hers and make this a way to find each other...
