A Picture Of Her Poem by Lindokuhle Dawordplaymind Nkosi

She left me holding a picture of her in my hand
And she said this picture will always play as a reminder in my mind
That even when we are no longer together
It will serve as a bystander
That she was and always be the one for me
'til ertenity knocks at the door
Where love will no longer be considered as blind
Where it will able to see the light that comes with the future
'Cause nowadays relationships are much more like a fairytale
And people stuck in non-committal relationships
That are egoity driven
With no romance
Nor one making efforts to maintain peace.

She left me holding a picture of her,
She said this picture will play as a verse of a poem
A verse that will articulate how much I'll miss her and her love
A love that is so pure and true
She said this picture will be a reminder
That our love is indeed a conqueror
For it overcame the storms that comes to steal warmth and happiness
And it never stops to glimmer the sparks of joy and hopefulness
When people declaimed it as dead
And declared that it will never withstand the test of time
Yet this love we possessed, still leave them breathless
As we are still getting stronger and stronger, and making them suffer from indignant illness
As it said that everywhere you go,
There will be people who'll throw stones in your way
And in this journey of love too
There are people who are always resentful
Who wish you nothing, but fretful
'til your love story fade and become disregardful.

She left me holding a picture of her
This picture that has built a house in my heart
A house full of loneliness and despair
And she said I must be careful
A heart can get blind by what seems beautiful
She said this picture is a precious treasure
A treasure that will be as a souvenir
When I am no more,
She said; then this picture will be a great tale of love
A tale that will give poeple the true definition of love
For so many times it escapes in the palm of their hands
While they living in the glittering doom found in this cruel world
And in this temporal enjoyment that fades with the blink of an eye
So, she said this picture will draw her nearer to my soul
And it will be perennial as her love to me
It will be the greatest love song of all time in my ears
And it will be a tears wiper of my eyes.
