My Eulogy. Poem by victor Ihaji

My Eulogy.



There wasn't anyone worldwide, as a mother, father, brother, sister, cousin, nephew or a friend that knew my pain, failures, tears, frustration, ambitions, vision or struggle.
Absolutely no one knew that I could truly love, care, adore, be loyal and faithful, that I could be true and talk of marriage besides you.
You were the only person in the entire universe that knew all the above things.
When everyone I knew and didn't know thought I was someone else, you knew I am not, you knew I am not what they thought I was.
When they were busy making their minds think negative about me, you were the only one that was thinking positive about me.
And when I am gone, my eyes closes, my feet tied up, my heart freezes and stops beating and my whole body turns cold and I lay peacefully to die or something more worse than death itself happens, like this love is no more, there is no more victor and Flora, I plead please, let my poems remain the treasure I ever gave you.
Choose the good things I once did and let them serve as an ever ending memory of me. Just pick on thing out of the millions I failed to do and leave out all the rest.
Death is inevitable, fate is unimaginable.
I don't know when I'll die neither can I tell when us will be no more but its my heart's greatest desire that's forever.
I wish I had a sleek preview of the events to befall us in the near of later future but I cannot fathom, my mind can't even grasp anything from the future that must happen. I hope for the best....the best for me, the best for you and the absolute best for us.
In life, all that matters to me is US, you and I.
I pray when the priest will be saying the last words, when your nose can smell the freshly dug soils and I'm laying in a wooden casket, when only few faces will be mourning and a few tears streaming down true faces or when many will be happy and smiling to finally see me go back to where I once came from(the soils) , may you uelogise me with this piece, these words, my poetry....say sincerely how good I was to you and the whole world.
Speak of me in a manner that will paint a bright smile on my dead face. Eulogise me differently and uniquely from all the rest.
Only then, only then my true love, the very heart beat of my fainting heart, my dying heart's greatest desire, my now and then, my today, tomorrow and my forever. My help in times of need, my solace in times in fright, my shoulder when in tears, my joy in daring sadness, my anything and everything. It's only then I'll REST IN ETERNAL PEACE.
I will depart and exit this ungrateful world knowing that for once, somebody truly, sincerely and wholeheartedly loved and adored me.
That for once, somebody stood by me from the very first time we met to the very last time my life was no more.
My dear, my moon, sun, stars and my galaxy, death is inevitable, it's unavoidable, cruel, it doesn't signify when it's on its way to steal a life. We're all prepared for it I am very prepared for it for it surely lives among us. Within us. It's here with me and there with you.
May this be read at my funeral.
