This poem is dedicated to you, <br />My love, <br />For so many things you don't understand, <br />So many nitigrities I have no power to explain. <br /> <br />I hope life will give you insight, <br />understanding and wisdom. <br />In due season, .. <br />Your inner eyes and ears shall open, <br />And you shall see how great my love for you is. <br /> <br />My eyes are blind to our future, <br />They are bright and glittering to our present, <br />And have no account of our past. <br /> <br />I am happy but my tears are near, <br />With each lie you tell, <br />They push towards the surfarce, <br />Soon they will roll down my cheeks. <br />Will I wipe them away? <br />And lose all memory of you? <br />Or will I let them fall to the ground and learn to let go? <br /> <br />My heart is in pain, <br />and my soul in rage. <br />Echoes of a lonely sad song, hover hopelessly in my spirit. <br />My mind is playing dangerously on the edges of insanity, <br />But my will is strong. <br /> <br />I smile even though I don't have a reason to. <br />I laugh not because of your jokes, <br />but my own sorrow. <br /> <br />Be at peace my love, <br />Unlike life, love is always fair. <br />Memories may pierce your heart and soul like a thousand swords, <br />Don't regret your flaws, <br />No one is flawless. <br /> <br />Your longing will not remain unsatisfied, <br />but will be seed; <br />In the hearts of your children.<br /><br />Peter Daniel Phiri<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/serenity-sobs/
