Too Many Yesterdays Poem by HAKAM ABUBAKAR

I have become your passion as time alters
And in my memory you float like the still waters
In our union exists a spectacular divinity
Too many yesterdays shall lead us to eternity.

Too many yesterdays is a calamity to mankind
Not the fear of being in eternal darkness
Since yesterday will always leave us with wild
Imaginations
Too many yesterdays have become a worry to
Mankind.

The desired elements shared I’m afraid is just for
A moment
Yet its implication is eternal
Yesterday is a continual stage of our being today
Too many yesterdays sets my memories ablaze.

Hehehe! I laugh with so much passion and lament with
Pain
But I’m afraid mankind should be wary of making
Yesterday a source of happiness
For it’s as fast as light in leading mankind to eternity.

Too many yesterdays are the reasons I’m alive today
And shall be the reason to depart
From our spectacular union the morrow
Too many yesterdays.

Too many yesterdays limit my scope of closeness to you
And clips the wings of the love for you I do
Sunsets continue to leave me so so befuddled
My heart’s desire, my love rekindled.

Too many yesterdays to me opens up
The portals of a bright future, no longer a lingering desire
Of a shrouded uncertainty
A battle to look back to, a journey to nurture.

Too many yesterdays shall lead us to eternity
Where there shall be eternal happiness as we will go
Hand in hand crossing the rivers of life
Shielding each other from being drenched by rains
Of pain
What a moment it shall be
For we will always stand together, and cease to be
Divided.
Too many yesterdays
Too many yesterdays.
