@song Of Silence Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Song of silence


“Don’t fade away from me
Cause you’re the sweetest memory”
Lines from my favorite song
Following it in my reverie

I can’t imagine how did it happened
Walked and leave that day so sudden
Laughter and tear and now no more
Iron voice of you with your eyes you wore

I can’t dare to say you’re gone
Years and months and days you return nay
Unlike yesterday you’re here from your journey
Spending the rest of your time

I can’t even see any reason why
Week counting the whole year and finally
No present to receive on holidays
Chocolates and toys and sight of you to begin the day

“Don’t fade away from me
Cause you’re my sweetest memory”
Two simple lines but it strikes’ anybody
I can’t say loneliness dwells and wear

I don’t know if I am right but true to me
Seeking the Moon in her troubled sight
Dark side of her sweet songs of yesteryears
All alone in the horizon asking the same question

Her way on the skies the more she become
A shinning star faithful to her vow
The same light that rise and fall without you
But I know that for sure she misses the sun

Until the brake of the dawn, and horizon
Waits for Apollo to enter the gates of heaven
And same prayer is always offered for you and for me
Without grace she still counting his beads

Whole day for all the Muses is different now
After that night goodbye I heard you say
Sound of your boots away, away, and away
Under the angry Sun, life must go and grow

There’re so much to share from the gods to the nobles
The rise and fall of heroes in sage of cruelty
Yes, were all on the journey but no band
But I guess Shakespeare will write a play

You know the emptiness of your presence
Almost death in him Cupid my best friend
But for what reason he alone can say
Tired for carrying bow without arrow, maybe?

Praise heaven he stood and back to life again
Not because of you but for him to continue
The fate of a god to shoot lovers to urge love
Written the destiny of men under the sun

Between life and death was a great fight
Virgin goddess seeking for a reward
From long days saving the flowers of her day
Though weak determined still to be happy

In the woods can’t find her way back
To be at home same of yesterday
The path you’ve thought us along the bay
But reward awaits her- the metallic rose

Every noble in the court troubled about you
They all fly to where direction I don’t know
No trace of him the womanizer Duke
Missing him but gone for good because of you

Yes next to the thrown stayed but nay words to say
Prisoner of hatred that raves the anger
With his possession for the same reason
Day after day fresh wound cannot be healed

So hard to say the fears and the hatred I felt
I miss you all, but what else can I do, things change now
Wishing to meet you in heavens’ doom
Don’t have courage in this day to face and be frown

Like a scene flashed on how each day we crawl
Wounded body facing the screen watching the world’s den
Tears starts to flow but never then shows
The yesteryears we all shared in the same blood that flows

“Don’t fade away from me
Cause you’re the sweetest memory”
So touching very hurting I would say
To forget about you is what should I do

At least I can go now and establish my name
To live life as what they dream for us
Wearing a crown- the possession of love and honor
Though not for now but sure it is so soon

At first from that old town
If only without trying I don’t know and I really mean
Fall almost all the time without you to give a hand
But I learn how to stand to be someone

Even dying I was, but to go on and to live I must
I don’t want to be left behind with dead dreams
Not because I am too ambitious
Only to wear and have my own shoes

“Don’t fade away from me”
Sweet line coming from the depths of my thoughts
Lonely voice echoing through the song
The song that keeps on reminding me of you

“Cause you’re the sweetest memory”
Beckoning the image of you
Only to realized that you cause me to hate
To hate the memories painted with in me

Two lines is enough for me to remember
You in my life yet live in my dreams now
Walking through the shore seeing the horizon
Covered the whole and never to hide anymore

The song is enough for me to see
The yesteryears of you and of me
Father and son both passers of this world
Searching for love but cannot find of what we don’t have
