MORE TO COME ✍ ✍ REMEMBRANCE

I wrote this poem on 7- 8- 1999; but this is an aberration of my youth, when I was a young teenager; when I didn't know much

about life and despondency that was part of it. This was perhaps my very first heartache, when I had no idea that as I grew older many more wretchedness, sorrow, and suffering would come face to face with me;

✍

"I reflect the feeling of yesterday;

I was young and had no dismay.

School and other things were in my mind;

Not the sorrow that today I find.

My heart was engulfed with sorrow;

Thinking what future would bring me tomorrow!

✍

Yesterday's thought makes me feel,

A sadness that is hard to deal.

I think of the one who possessed my heart;

Our destiny ruled us to be apart.

I can't forget that handsome face;

And how he took his life for my disgrace.

I said my farewell with desperate rave;

For I was not allowed to say it at his grave.

✍

That night, moon had only a wan light!

My face reflected a dark shadow of fright.

I stood in a deadly silence to hear

Any emphasizing word about my dear.

But no one knew, no one did care;

That we had promised each other to pair;

That we did not want to part;

Such was our love so certain in heart.

✍

Now I think of those limited days;

How sweetly they burned me with blaze.

Hard days have come, hard days had gone;

And I always for those days long.

He is gone, and I have his memories

I am painfully alive, he is happily dead and at ease!
