I Had Lost You (Her) Poem by onesimo odwa mabovula

I had lost you; you were no longer in my life.
I was like a lost son in a forgotten life.
I had lost hope, because my life was filled with sorrow.
Silently I wondered alone with no one,
But a voice in my head, a voice of an angel

Not just any angel, I could not put a face to the voice.
It was saying to me believe in her.
It was saying believe in me; in you and in us.
Then suddenly I see the face it was you
I had found you once again.

Yeah! You were lost in my imagination
I had a picture of you in my mind painted
Colourfully with great thoughts, memories and feelings that carefully portrayed you.
With love and respect, and all I could wish for
But I lost it, not my mind but the picture

Or maybe I had lost my mind too
How could I forget you, your face, your inner being?
And all there’s to love about you
I looked around my memory
Searched every corner of my brain did not find it.

But now I have regained it.
And I will never lose it again
Cause I would not want to lose you again.
