The Star That Never Left My Sky Poem by Olaleye Azeem Oladipupo

Your eyes no longer look into mine
They never saw me anymore, and they never mind

My heart has become heavy
Even the moon cries with me each night dreary

I wish that that morning had woke me earlier
I wish that life could at least be fairer

I wish you’d never left too early on that day
I wish I’d followed on that journey of fate

But now I cannot but only catch you
On these midnight ships sailing my dreams through

I wish you can look down from on the Sun where you float
And come read my sore clueless quotes
I wish you can listen to these songs, ‘cos for you I wrote

In every hearts across the oceans I have looked
But no other angel dares fit as you

The stars left a picture of you on the clouds nigh
And into every other night I stare high
Wondering which way the rivers would fly

And at times I hear the woods whispering
And your voice coming down to caress my memories
The emptiness in me cast a shadow of you on rather sad melodies

Ah! I miss holding your tender hands
I miss those goodnight kisses and
The Sun of your smile that never stopped shinning overhang

Other times, my tears dance awry to your favorite tunes
And everything we shared sway along in cold blues

Memory of you lashes through like hot afternoon breeze
This poignant burning fire who will freeze?

Though you left too early, you live forever long
And your love will keep strengthening my heart forevermore

I will never stop loving you MOM!
