Ephemeral Memories Poem by Richmon Rey Jundis

Memories are running water in the river
That flows away with it's melancholic trickles.
They were once in front of my eyes,
But with just a blink of my teary eye
They are gone without saying goodbye.

Memories are tiny dews of water
Forming like tiny crystals
On the tips of Lilac's petals
On a misty morning in Tagaytay City.
I was staring at their dazzling beauty
But with just a wink of sun rays
They turn into a vapor
Bringing all the sweet memories
Towards the unreachable sky.

Memories are oft to be ephemeral water,
And with this sullenness of reality,
I must keep writing,
While my heart can still bleed ink
To write all these temporal memories.
