The Promise Poem by Irhan Jubica

The Promise



Unfinished dream
of returning to the world of flowering
the sand is dead

From long ago
the first voice
you
and only you
but tonight
do not dare to revive me

small barge

I have forgotten
all the fantasies
and bad jokes of existence

but my end is not yet come
and you can't go

I am the Nile
now dry after
giving life to millions
