A Lovely Memory

By the side of the mountain
I stand quietly,watching from
a distance
The valley of our roaring laughter
Our used-to-be musical arena
Where the ground deemed helpless
but to dance in happiness
The roses optionless,but to bow
 in respect
The songs we sung,the rythmns we
alternated with our heroic voices
A place where we composed the verses
As the wind chipped in with Angelic choruses

The crimson sunshine glow
Embraces my melanin forehead
Triggering the composition of my mindset
Flashing back in,all the joyous moments
we shared
With no particular scene to spare
The serenity of the air we inhaled
The rythmitical  melodious colabo we made
Rendering the nightingale bird choiceless
but to cloud in jealousy
Still all,abide by me like a shadow
With no significant signs of fading soon

Your looming shadow of rejoice
The echo of your vibrant smile
Still rings a bell in my heart
And this I promise you
Even in your absence
The reflection of sorrow,will know not
my existence
For happiness was our daily vocabulary
A steering wheel,it gets me going
Until the journey of two
Is achieved by one,clouded in the shadow 
of the other
