The Old House Poem by Sulaiman Mohd Yusof

The Old House

Rating: 4.6


The red skies engulf the bay under
Whilst silence sweeps the current away
Islands, harbor, creeks, rocks and sholes
Soundings and anchoring
Entice and hypnotize

A distance throw from the jetty
Stray dogs run toward the old house
Its long lost companion and shelter
Five years ago it was filled with plot lines
A best selling wonder, worth a ponder
The old house by the bay
Memories linger on the walls,
Hide in the pillars
Float on the roof
Stray dogs find its way in
They see another alluring chapter
Once, I lived there

OH, SULAIMAN, YOUR POWER OF IMAGERY NEVER WANES OR FALLS TO THE LEVEL OF THE ORDINARY. I FINISHED READING AND FOUND MYSELF LONGING TO KNOW WHAT WAS LEFT BEHIND AND I SO WANTED TO PET THAT SWEET DOGGIE. PLEASE WRITE YOUR AUTOBIOGRAPHY. EVERY POEM IS LOADED WITH INTRIGUE. FROM WHENCE AND FROM WHOM DID YOU SPROUT, SIR?

memories of the past is a power enough to stimulate our emotion- the longing of what was beautiful, rich, best and good. however not all good things will last-the truth is 'we need to moveforward and learn how to look back in a smile of acceptance and willingness to learn from what was... nice poem...
