Well, here we are at the start of a brand new day
Who knows what exciting new things lie just ahead
Will I win the Lotto?
Might have had a better chance had I purchased a ticket
Will a long lost friend suddenly reappear?
Not likely since he passed away a few years back
Will I regain my youthful, debonaire, good looks?
Did I ever have them?
Dreams can be so realistic at times
That when we wake, it takes us a bit of time
To clear our heads and get back to reality
Have you ever tried remembering a dream
How frustrating is that
You know it was filled with joy, laughter, and good times
But can't remember it no matter how hard we try
Strange but so very annoying
Sure would be great to continue on where we left off
The mind... a real enigma!

Your words touch my heart and are
Embedded in my soul.
Could it be the young man I fell
In love with so long ago?
The young man who promised to me
His love his heart and his soul,
And as we walked under the moonlit sky
His words of our life together began to unfold.
And then one day that young man and his dreams were gone,
He left me with only those memories to fall back on.
After all these years he’s now back again,
And those memories of long ago greet me like a long lost friend.
The young boy from those years ago
Has now become a man,
Standing here before he asks if we can begin our dreams and life again.
I look into deep green eyes and see
The memories of long ago come back to me.
I know the young man I fell in love with long ago,
Needed time to grow
To grow into the man who stands before me
Knows my answer is forever with him is where I want to be
It falls from my hands
and scatters all around
one by one I pick up each piece
my life comes together in this poem
Joys and laughter everywhere
but a little sorrow hides under the chair
dreams and hopes desperately hang on
the wind threatens to blow them away
Fragments of my memories lie here and there
a few unforgotten college days
some precious words dad had said
angry face of a long lost friend
Strewn all over are words
well intended but misunderstood
words written for a poem, left halfway
some earnest attempts, some fake
If I were to measure these pieces
Would there be more joy or despair
I really cannot say
But they make me what I am today.

A, I did not have time to talk to you about my ill fate.
It seems nice but I think it is a curse for me this year.
It has been 5 years since you were gone,
Although I do not feel missing you as I used to,
But it did not mean I love you any less.
I am upset that I did not love you as much as I should.
I suppose, one only learns how much one was lucky until one lost it.
I took for granted you would always love me
And I would be loved and cared forever.
Would you bless me to have wisdom,
Energy, time and love for my sons.
Whom you also loved as your grand children.
Even when you never have a chance to meet them.
I was grateful for your kindness, respect and
Treated me differently to the rest of the women in your life.
There was once a time
When there was you and I
And we had shared
A friendship beyond compare
No matter how long
We had been apart
Whenever we met
Our bond was untouched
And I remember parks
Laughter and jokes
I remember your eyes
How they smiled
And then we were separated
And I didn't know
How far you'd gone
And long you'd be
Years pasted
And you were
A faint memory
In the back of my mind
But every once and a while
I remembered you
And our treasured friendship
And I smiled
But then you were
Just a passing thought
Sometimes you'd come by
Others not
What happened I heard
Was so sad
But not for children
To understand
So when I remembered you
Once again years past
I looked for you
And I found you
My heart sped up
And my eyes filled up
You look so grown
And yet I got that familiar feeling
The bond of friends
That could be siblings
Forever there
For one another
Yet I didn't make contact
And I guess
That's my mistake
I'll learn from
And one day I pray
That on the street
Of anywhere we are
We shall meet again
There's a beach ball stuck in the rafters of the pool, It's been there for the 7 years I've been coming here, It contains air from the lungs of an unknown person, An essence that rests here though they left and likely never considered the fact, I wonder all the places, There, I've left pieces of me, I've caught sight of the unknown, Known but not seen, Recalled gently where my presence never left a place but I never returned, Sometimes I encounter it with a long lost friend who has a memory or an item I made, a saying or dance I embodied that they kept somehow, There are some people I'd like to ask – who I was in that moment of my life when we passed, I hope those fragments are more than the air I breathed on an unremembered day, And the reason people smile and hold an item in their hands to conjure back as I do on occasions, Small links of the unforgotten piece me together as someone who existed.

I had seen this girl around my workplace,
one day she handled a problem with grace.
We were nurses and things could get nasty,
and this was no place to get all sassy!
I complimented her and then we talked,
and on our breaks in the park we walked.
The flame of friendship ignited in us,
our spirits entwined like twin blazes, yes!
We became a beautiful matching pair,
with a special friendship so very rare.
Then the unthinkable- she had to leave,
gone my counterpart and chum, Genevieve!
Oh, I was filled with sadness and deep loss,
and I wept and wept for my sweet friend lost.
Who would listen to my poems eyes closed,
and I had made her a lover of vintage old!
When she left I was in a dark chasm,
it will took a long time to find my awesome.
I never heard from her ever, ever again.
How could she not look back? How do I mend?

MY LONG LOST FRIEND (NIGERIA)
By Edward Ntebri Egbelo
Just like snow you left the clouds; withering the earth with enclaves of your shadow
Memories can never escape the glimpse of your far gone character; your smiles of hope in moments of dismay
Your pedigree nature in guiding human opinions
Your strength in conquering strange battles with sanguinity and fervour
O!!! Behold thy old self; gazing at the failing mirrors
Jealousy has enclave thy mind with malevolent and odium of close friends
Where is that integrity I use to envy, that humility I use to covet, that optimism I use to hanker? All sucked up; by that quintessence of sleaze
Wake up my friend; up from thy waning slumber
The road is tapered; assuredly coarse and short
But they is surely a destination
Hope fills thy fading face; you will surely conquest over your qualms.
The dreams you beseech will surely be your climax
Your victory is not far-flung my friend; it lies in the neighbourhood
Waiting for you to grab it with complete vigour and sincerity
Haste should be far a point from grasping it
Hold tight my friend, enjoy the cool breeze of nature and acquire your birth right with integrity and honesty.
God bless you my friend
God bless Nigeria
was feelin too sick to write poetry
every breath taken
was another nail in my coffin
with shades of self pity
hanging over my shoulders like a long lost friend
this cold still goes on forever
robbing me of vitality, smell, and sacred and much adored sleep
as coughing fits
like grand mal seziures
keep me enraptured in their tendrells
never mind
these wee hours of the early early mornin
say 1.14 am
allow me to think about things long forgotten
like how my loved one called me "toquie"
and how much I loved that name....and all the warm cozy feelings
the little girl inside of me now misses these feelings
I get to think about my goals and aspirations
of the art show I again want to put on in a small
coffee shop on THE DRIVE
But, most of all, this cold has given me a gift of realizing
how imporant one's health is...
in order to fully love oneself...
and you.
Form:
Lord, I am yours;
There are new beginnings and I must get them;
One in the morning time, some with same old long lost friend;
But He’s the one I rely on, in Him there’s trust;
And in man there’s no victory only lost;
On another day, will you come and stay;
Will you come fully and pray;
I am your vision you’re my watch;
I am your voice when you talk;
And I breathe the life of you inside you
I am yours, I am yours…
Come together right now over here;
I am yours and you’re my dear;
I am your vision you’re my watch;
I am your voice when you talk;
And in man there’s no victory only lost;
On another day, will you come and stay;
I am the truth and I’m the way
And I breathe the life of you inside you
I am yours, I am yours…
On another day, will you come and stay;
Will you come fully and pray;
I am your vision you’re my watch;
I am your voice when you talk;
And I breathe the life of you inside you
I am yours, I am yours…
