+ Moonlight On The River Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Moonlight on the river


In the middle of the night you haunted me
The tenderness of your hands melts my heart away
The crystal in your eyes the grayness of life sways
Oh how your embrace brings comfort to me

But I went far looking for new life to the other side
Leaving you and the memories behind
I heard your voice one night calling out my name
From the moonlit city of man stained with colors so different

Lamp and shade the other images with harshness
of feeling deep within
Until found I was alone loosing a friend I thought I couldn’t find
Cannot smile like a nightingale forbidden to recite his hymn
So, I take a pause and collect the pieces in my mind

I realized then, bringing the world is not enough
if friend like you will fade away
I go around and found you cry I don’t know why
But silence came again bringing the friendship
The moonlit river side just the same you and again
