*** Coming Back To You *** Poem by Sulaiman Mohd Yusof
*** Coming Back To You ***
Days fill with pictures
At the edge
of remotely located
heart broken dorm
Man made Chateau of horny pony
Little tales
Chanting your name as I wish
and desire
Akin to mentally
instability
The boy from the village
used to ask
'Where’s the girl? '
Your girl
is no longer your property
Timeless and counting
Miserable leads you
to the grave
Landscape of remedy
Deep buried
Lingers with whispers of
Longing dead
Honey,
You sat on my laps
Blew your words
To my face
‘I’m your woman’
The boy from the village
Used to say
‘Perfect couple’
Now
I can leave the world,
with you around
to smile
to hug
to cry on
The place
to lean on
Playing my mom
and sister
How cruel
To die young
No children
To watch them growing
Fading away
Similar to Fir’aun
Drowned in the Red Sea
Unable to lay our present
In the Oasis
Where Tamar tree
Grows
As we grow…
This is based on a true story and extremely tragic.I've lost the most valuable person in my life.We were 18, first year in College.On a camping trip, she was drowned.At that time, I was almost gone mad and was so close to commit suicide.Her name was Marleena, extremely beautiful and bright girl.
Hi Marleena, I missed you so much baby!
I love the structure of your poem, I write like this often...sometimes when you are in pain it is the only way you can put it on paper as the words pour from your heart. Absolutely wonderful...10! Dorothy
what a heartbreaking story- thank you for sharing this with us.
you have managed to capture your sadness very beautifully its a very tragic story.
Greenwolfe 1962 calls the vertical style you chose a chore. I agree with this, however I do not agree that this is a needless exercise. I believe that the structure in which you form your work is crucial to the atmosphere you wish to give writing (this usually only applies to poetry) . I found that the further I read on in this horribly tragic story, the more convinced I was that this was a bridge to tragedy built with as much heart and class as I've come across. An excellent poem told in a compelling format.
Thank you for sharing this truly tragic heart-wrenching event with us. Your beautifully presented array of powerful emotions, your loving memories were, as always, truly alive, real and impacted me deeply. Dear sweet departed young lady, could anyone have remembered you and honored your memory more sincerely than this? An artist at work, Sulaiman, to the max. Thank you, Carol
A fantastic tear jerker, a great deal of passion and love; heart warming. Another impressive write!
great. deep, emotional. right on the surface...that's awsome...great job. one of my favorites.
This is tragic. It's always an agony to lose someone we love, and can nature's law be thwarted by any of us? A very well laid poem with words flowing in sequence. Be strong buddy. I pray may her soul rest in peace. God Bless.
