"On this day"




IN MEMORY OF JO, THE MAN WHO SHOWED TRUE LOVE.


"On this day"
by:Doni Cifra


On this day,
I move my sight
To the paths of sunlight
That dance upon your skin.


They light the narrow way
Towards the place that you promised,
That universe where you are
Waiting for me.


On this day,
I set aside the times I missed
To carry you
Through the dark valley that you tread.


Instead,
I reminisce our splashing
On the shores of love,
In the pursuit of that idea we hoped to find in each other.


On this day,
I capture the warmth of the morning
Which are, no doubt, your arms
Keeping my corroding heart together.


It brings hope alive
In my heart, your souvenir,
An offering of your love
That knows neither death nor time.


On this day,
I unravel the garland
Of teardrops that flowed
With your demise.


Its absence is replaced
By a peaceful smile
That I crown upon your head
Like a halo to a saint.


When you left me once,
My soul was empty.
As you leave at last,
True love has found me.


*Special thanks to my BFF Doni Cifra for letting me copy this.*
