1234 & 5 Poem by Maureen Onyinye Kenneth

1234 & 5!
These were the years we had!
How can I forget those creamy
years?
Wining, dinning, dancing and
chatting
These memories are stock inside
ofme


Please, let's travel back to what
we had
May be, they weren't enough
for me
So I pray, we repeat history
together!
Can we talk more about
Friday 23rd OfJuly?
Let's meet at the old store
like old times,1800 hours!

Am there, but I can't see you
It's dark out here and
I can't see Properly
Please, give me a sign
that you are out there!
I want to see the beautiful blue gown
You always wear during picnic.

Someone just waved,
Are you the one?
No it's not you!
She's got blue eyes,
You have brown eyes!

Please where are you?
I've been waiting
Why am I so scared?
I am now at your house knocking,
But no respond from anyone.

Your neighbours are starring
At me Like a total stranger
they haven't seen before,
Just one was bold enough
to tell me that You are no more
But I didn't believe him

This is the 3rd time
I am hearing this,
But I refused to believe it's true
even after visiting your new
home, grave!

Please come back,
I wish to see
your face again
1234 & 5!
Were the years we had!
