The Last Leaf
I am sitting under a big tree,
Full of flowers on its branches,
If you can see…
It’s quite old if you look at it,
But not on its century…
I watch the movement Of the old tree…
Observing how it sways and it’s gently…
I see some lovers marks on its bark…
Dates as when they’ve arrived
And some names that engraved on a speared heart…
There are few Love notes sprayed on its body
Promises that they won’t be a part…
With hash tags of words on its side…
“Forever, ” “I do” or “till I die”
And some inscriptions are written in a glide…
I doubt if all these are true…
But, I think they won’t write it just out of the blue
I know it came from lovers who speaks
Through a big voice Inside their hearts…
I wonder how this tree can bear
The happiness of these lovers as they’ve shared
Some memories and magical spell
Of two hearts rested on it well…
On a bench under the big tree
I lay down my head, So I can clearly see
How the leaves sway
As the wind blows on my way..
My sensation really captures its motion
Fill my heart with agitation
I felt the emptiness as I stare at it
I felt something strange within it
I can sense the loneliness
As the wind blows the leaves…
As I watch the branches swaying
I continue to gaze and wonder
I know there’s something more that’s lying
A deeper thing that encompasses..
Until the heavy wind whips and alter
My sight caught the engraved ring like
With words that struck me…
And speared my heart…
Where the last leaf from a twig
Finally dropped…
It says:
“I remain loving you, Eiza FOREVER… 03-23-2015”
