Memories Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

As a young man...
I wonder what will become of me
I dream to be somebody
I query for the ways

What is life's worth...
if there is no joy
nobody to care for
and without love

Then I meet you...
you are so nice pal
so kind, so friendly
and God-fearing too


Only then that I...
saw the innate beauty of colors
and felt the blaze of sunshine
and savored love

I am a man... .
a bit mysterious
yet feels confident
and quite mature

You are a woman...
beautiful lady
so sweet maiden
and smart gal

I love you...
as what my heart dictates
that I want you as much
as I need you by my side

And you loved me too...
as your best buddy
like a dearest friend
and soul mate

So we share the best moments...
of caring for each other
sharing happiness together
and savoring ardent love

Suddenly you decided...
to leave and forget
and stop caring
by ending your love

Why? Was it worth...
your freedom to live
and quest for achievements
for a secured future?

And we parted ways...
with two-broken hearts
and teardrops falling
in dire solitude

But now I am still...
thinking deeply
while longing solemnly
waiting for your return

In my loneliness...
I think of you vividly
my soul wishes for you
my heart is awaiting

Just to realized...
that you are gone now
and we are not meant
for each other

And what left in me...
a scarred heart
wounded by frustration
of your lost love

So I am trying hard..
to exit from the pain
and erase you
by starting anew

But before I finally do...
I still like to think
I still want to analize
I still wish to remember
that one girl I have loved
had onced made me a happiest man


And now it marks...
only as MEMORIES
