Memories
Poem: Memories
Poet: Sulamani P. Dukuly
Netus N. Nowine, Jr.
Sulamani P. Dukuly: I once had a memory and never will I forget
I can't stop picturing all of the moments
we once had and shared together;
I once had a great dream
And that dream brought all the lovely moments,
I felt like all was over until I saw a memory of you,
I laugh, smile, and all of a sudden, all my broken pieces were blended.
Netus: You took away all your pictures
But you can't delete your memory;
They are stored in my brain
In my brain your memory stays
For they will never go away
When I fall at sleep, they play.
Sulamani P. Dukuly: Whenever I think of your memory, I feel embraced
Because it heals my wound and my heart sticks together:
Your memory is the best thing that I have ever experienced,
Your memory reminds me of all the good times we once had.
Each time I dreamed, I see you, although you are gone
but your memory keeps blowing my mind and it feels like we are not done.
Netus: In my mind, your name and face are stored;
They will never find an exit
For I have well sealed it,
In my mind only your memory fits
And it is unforgettable;
It helps me to be upright;
For you left a positive mark in my heart.
Sulamani P. Dukuly: It is true that memories don't die
And yours is a living testimony to that
It is impossible to get it off my mind
It's true that you are out of my sight
But your memory will keep reflecting till I depart.
Netus: When I sit, I imagine your face;
Pains come to me when others romance
I always think about when we used to dance;
I used to joyfully wait for you outside your fence
For we kept our love real and intense;
I was well clothed with your love sense.
Sulamani P. Dukuly: For each time I picture you
it usually reflects my mind back to the old days,
Your unforgettable memory has lightened up my day
And it can't stop bringing out the smile in me
Whenever I think of you, I can laugh and smile,
Thanking God for such a Queen like you.
Netus: When I inhale, your love comes in
Mixed with my blood and travels through my veins
Relieving me from pains;
Your memories help me to focus on my aims,
I recap all the scenes correctly
Never do I record the sorrows;
Your memorable scenes are well packed in rows,
And you return, I will give you rose?
