Echoes Of The Past Poem by Lundi Ncuthu

My heart is a blaze of a fading flame
The roads we used to travel are covered in grass
Like a string connecting two worlds
Memories repelling away, I am merely broken
I could take that road again
But it seems to lead nowhere without you
With no sun to glare down on us

Every gaze is one I couldn't tame
My mind dreams of a sunken shame
I was once a Traveller and met friendly faces
Now I can't even draw a smiling face
Who could've thought it would all fade
There were lots of noises and parks were full
Of smiling and friendly faces, children playing
With their parents and I was amongst them

I miss you and all your smiles
Funny, how I used to think I was happy
But it was all you, I am in a deep abyss
Holding a fading flame in my hands
As darkness creeps in, running riots
On my mind, I could run, I could flee
But where would I go? When all I see
is falling skies and collapsing mountains

How can I live on an empty space?
With no hopes of tomorrow's mending hand
But I hope the angels are singing lullabies
To tone down all your worries
Life is a nightmare of fleeting shadows
Without you, nowhere is safe without
Your warm presence, all I feel is coldness
Sending shivers on my nerves
Thus drowning on a bottomless Ocean
awaiting your hand to pull me to the surface
There is nothing I can't give just to gaze at you
Again, I hope heaven is holding you well.
