Poignancy

The journey in silence and solitude
Came to fetch you unexpectedly
All those past days I have ventured
And now your appearance I think about
Sweetly, lovingly and tenderly I knew
No other being like your way of being

It was our Diana who found me
In unknown street of my adventures
This mountain I am climbing
Is yet to reach its narrow peak
This valley I am walking through
Full of never-ending unpredictable thorns

I so far have along with me
Two master pieces of artworks
I am truly sorry my dearest
You will never see my works
I crowned one treasure 'Alexandra'
The precious other is 'Christopher'

At present I am left in such loneliness
Feeling shattered without your existence
And those master pieces you left behind
Are much fragile and yet to bloom
They think you are only sleeping
They think you are on a long rest
They are in tears for others are so

You left them here well and healthy
Seven wondrous beauties from your love
From today the seven days in a week
Yourself, we will very much long for
You, the gone rainbow we will cry for
A cousin, brother, son, uncle, nephew
A husband, a lover, a father, a gentleman

My dearest, I painfully weep tears of agony
I cross cold icy river of torturous emotions
Tonight I feel a little strong to write you
This untouchable undefined poignancy
The note which you will never read
My words that I will never send you
The letter about my love and pain for you

Saul my beloved cousin, Saul my friend
You took your departure way too soon
Forsaken us to watch such gloomy moon
When morning light meets our tears tomorrow
We hope to smile again so to not be in sorrow
Although I may still see the doleful dagger
I will rise to cherish what you left me here

Depart safely my dearest beloved cousin
Before all matters we shall bloom again
All along I never heard you complained
And I never witnessed how you've pained
Then two days ago your skin turned pale
All those days and years I never sent you a mail
I journeyed too far and I know not how long for

To my cousin Saul Bunga who departed in April, 22nd 2008
