Poem
Life longed in my youth Longer than a century Full of fortitude Fortitude unbear Masked with resilience But reaping failure by day Then comes a day When stride took me all a lone In steps of defeat I walked royally into the clustered forest Deepening deep; fetter by pains Then i heard the gentle sound of the wind Like though a virgin wind It blows compassionately Caressing the cardinals of the earth And alternating Singing in muttered voice Suddenly i heard The sound of a loosed gripe Of four unripe mangoes that mysteriously failed Each with tears The plight of a dashed hope Close to my feet Which was already cold? Defeated by what i couldn’t pull off yesterday Sorrow had long remained my bride Married in disguise; without love Taking all i got And all felt i wasn’t prepared to be Married to the reborn myth After all that was said about me With my hands on my check Tears dropping side by side Flowing slowly wetting my sleeve I said to my suicidal mind You can do it! You can turn every wrong to right! Earn freedom and free others alike! Like the words of Maya Angelou I just did it right Before i could knew it Night failed without recourse Fear loosen, courage summons I turned as royally as i came Cutting through the tick darkness with myth And before the early cockcrow All i lost was gained And nothing to be sorrowful about
