Forget Me Not Poem by Alison Mujati

The curtains,
To the sparkle are falling.
The strife for patience.
It's a ball game,
We don't lose the appetite for playing.

the season comes with time.
the fun of no one spending a dime.
Sometimes we dance,
It brings a smile to our faces.
When we cry,
There is a reason for this sadness.
Enjoy while you can
Remember it's just for a season.
A time will come,
When anguish smashes good vibe to fragments.

As partners, backs sore
Did we not carry each other's burdens?
Rocks of negativity from adversaries
Wet sandy sacks of doubts of doom wishers.
We took them like straws.
Trust became our playground.
Our sweat underscores hard work
Look how we built this strong foundation.
To overlook naysayers and sing a harmony.

The journey has just begun.
Trust the process, and have fun.
It's rocky, bumps should teach you your road to life.
Probably, a lesson teaching the greatest of subjects.
Meditate upon your heart and soldier on.
Pregnancy taught women to be one.
My sweat as a man testifies to it all.
Combined, we are just like the rest.
We can be victorious like many,
I smile along with the thought.
Failure is a choice
Do you want this awful road?
I guess not.

We made promises
All with good intentions.
The devil will staunchly test us.
The separation will be one crack of our weakness.
Only a strong mind conquers the sacrifice.
I passed barefooted within thorns.
This is nothing compared to what I bore.
With good management, surely I'll meet you on the other side.
I'm scared about the spirit of adventure.
Sometimes the journey traveled is too thin to understand.
You may as well be too fragile.
The scorching sun proves too hot for the delicate.
I'm no doubt,
Never in second thoughts,
The feeling of seeing people change eats my respect.

We are strong together.
This plain without two is too lonely
Too hard to ponder and prisoners forever regret days of arrest.
I'm becoming that feather
Fanned from the rest
To explore the jungle of loneliness
Who knows the tune life plays over me?

They were just moments,
We think of them now.
Look how they turned into memories.
Beautiful memories which seem sad.
Sad in ways that we can't hold them.
Vacuum moments traumatize souls.
If only we were together,
We could sing new tunes
Think of old ones,
It thus brings smiles to our faces
Certainly not now.

This isn't goodbye
Not any teardrop stops the feeling though.
Every time we say goodbye babe it hurts.
It's reality, I swear
No flame can spark it
Neither a liquid can quench this thirst
It is what it is but,
Forget me not.
