Scar Poem by Mary Eleanor Barbusa
Scar
We all wear scars that remind us of the past
It is there to recollect memories that nothing last
A scar that once loves that is steadfast,
Ingrained forever in our heart that will outlast.
Loving someone too much somehow generates scar,
Leaving traces of a pain that is so bizarre.
Heart grow ponder, as traces seen from afar,
For this scar can't be eliminated even if you wish from the star.
Time goes, time flies but memories always go by,
rekindling the once happy days, now it all gone dry.
Tears fell as this heart is reminiscing, how can i deny?
When this scar is visible, I can't say goodbye.
To the one person who turn my days in to night,
Maybe not now, but one day i will be alright.
Scars in my heart will soon be my light,
As i venture through the crooked path towards my knight.
- Mary Eleanor 'Leanne' R. Barbusa
MEB, I find numerous grammatical errors e.g. spellings in this poem, which makes me think that English is not your primary language. (cont.)
I think your poem is a good one, and I think I understand it well enough to enjoy it. It is a story of a woman who 'lost' her love (a man) , is saddened, but looks forward to another man in her life. ;) bri 4 stars
Don't think all PH poets will use English the way I do. 'Proper English' in U.K. is sometimes different that 'Proper English' in U.S. & 'everyone makes some mistakes typing' I say.
'To the one person who turn my days in to night, ' In America I use 'into night', not 'in to night'. But 'in to night' DOES make sense. When you make 'my' one word into two words, I recall poets from India doing that at times.
I am not planning to point out all things I call grammatical errors! : ) 'wish from the star.' I grew up hearing 'wish upon a star', especially in the 'cartoon'/animated movie Pinnochio.
'Heart grow ponder, as traces seen from afar, ' I suggest 'Heart grows fonder(?) ' or 'Hearts grow fonder(?) '
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
