Leon Enriquez Poet Rhyme

When I Think of You

This teary feeling
Loiters and lingers
Unconceeding


Stray pieces linger
Eyes with abrupt tears
Sharp sadness loiters


Who are you my dear
To prick memory
For death has left here


Days of history
Etched by blood and sweat
Tell of our story


Odds in a frail bet
You brought us through storms
Boom, ready, get set


Upon cause a norm
Beyond fantasy
Now still fragile form


No guts, no glory
The tales tell of you
Yes we all can see


Bless us with bold hues
We remember you
Even as we queue


You did not know me
Nor did I meet you
Yet tears set me free


When I think of you
Sad sorrow renews
Gratitude mourns you


From time to time I
Spy fond greenery 
As city sights ply


Then springs memory
Joy lives monument:
Our poignant story.


Roots in testament:
What is yet to be,
Blooming compliment.
