Alive In Memory Poem by Titus Keya Omwaka

Tears cascade my visage
When I remember reading that message
That intensified my misery at a young age
I'm constantly looking for a sage
Grief has locked me up in a cage

Heaven is my witness
She was my weakness
No one cared like she did
Her departure was a thunderbolt indeed

Even in drunken state
I still remember the late
I comfort myself that it is fate
I see her smile
While I ail for a while
Now I know too well

I lost a jewel
She has shone her way
Her grave in Kindu bay
