Afterglow Poem by Noel Horlanda

Afterglow

Rating: 5.0


IImbricated clouds cloaks blasted sunset
Brings memories of yesteryears
Glorious past flashes back on set
Gives my first vision, tears
Kids me, mum’s caring
A sharp man, dad’s tutoring
‘Til college parent’s whoring
Wizard I become you bet

I’d like to see memoirs of my happy but failed marriage,
I’d like to be in a green park pushing my kid’s carriage,
Plangent shout, laughter I’d like to hear,
I’d like to watch dad and mum loving feeling dear,
I’d like to see my friends dancing drinking beer’
I’d like to see my wife’s pinchbeck smiling face,
In her wedding gown in lace

And when the juju sunset comes,
The eccentric afterglow welcomes
These fondly reveries in life is all done
Cannot be redux nor undone

And when the juju sunset comes, The eccentric afterglow welcomes These fondly reveries in life is all done Cannot be redux nor undone These are the lines that i cannot forget.I simply adore these. And here is the gifted poet that God gave in the early morn, and hopefully will continue in every sunset that comes. Wow..i think, i have found the real one..the REAL POET here in PH. And was i glad and proud that i have fellow Boholano here..so talented. I tip my hat...a toss for you, Sir.. God bless you..Shalom.. Hugs, Meggie

A well written piece in my opinion. Very touching, and a good rhyme scheme. It makes me think about my past and things that will never change and snapshots (good and bad) that will stay with me forever. A great poem. You should be proud of your skill and knowledge. =} keep up the great work. I am always reading and absorbing.
