Memory Poem by Ndina Kamaro Muofhe

Scars on the body of time
Memories of moments once lived
On the soul, like footprints on rocks
In rain and sun, they never fade
It's a pain that wakes up to pierce for a while
When a heart travels on a memory lane

Bitter drinks sipped,
In attempt to murder sorrows
For a while it will be crushed
But when soberness reign,
They emerge in their former state
Like a stain which no bleach can clean
A mark on terrain where the beasts passed
