The Best Poem Of Baffa Hussaini Gantsa

Time Travels With Me

TIME TRAVELS WITH ME

Sitting still on the shore of life
As cascades of thoughts floods my mind
Reminding me how I travelled
And sailed ashore by tide of time.

Deep the treasures of years I sank
Reminiscing those historic days
When I danced to the tune of success
Massaging my crying heart with soothing balm.

I remember when time took me for a trip
A trip to the inhuman world where blood spattered
And flooded the streets of my home
Beclouding the sky with smoke of grief.

I remember those days when sky weeped
Not of rain but with tears of sadness
When our homes was charred to ashes
Ending our life as pieces and fragments.

I remember the days when we were hunted
With arrows and guns instilling terror in our lives
I remember those nights that never spells peace
That even the moon and stars hide in fears.
As I visit the memory lane, I remember
Of the poems we wrote lulling to bed our loved ones
Of the lines we screeched with our blunt pens
Planting a seed of hope in their hearts.

I have seen and heard all -the good and the bad
My bold eyes lost their sight in ocean of tears
And my hungry ears deafened with life's lies
Daily sung in deceitful songs.

This clock I tightly hugged in my fragile arms
Tells me how time ticks and flew away the tree of my life
Tells me how late I am to fulfill those ton of wishes
Long written on the canvas of my heart.

I am in love with this companion of mine
It tells me that even the sun and moon retired to bed
To rest their tired limbs from the chaos of this world
So I breathe through it before my grave smiled at me.
