I'M LEAVES

I'M LEAVES

A Poem by Benedict Mdluli
"

A poem about not forgetting people who have been in our lives, to remember those who come and go in our lives and not to revenge on people who treat us badly unknowingly what tomorrow will bring.

"

               Will you remember me when I’m gone?

               My core pillar, will you forget the day that

               I made you look all glorious and summer

               Attractive? I was always aware that winter

               Will come and you will shake me off and forget

               About me because I had came for a season in

               Your life.

 

               I never forgot you when you cut me off like

               I never existed in your beautiful life, I made

               Myself unique. I converted my time with you

               For a season into a reason I made sure I was

                   turned into manure to give you another

               Chance in life to be glorious and shiny once

               More in summer, and by so doing I made sure

               You were taken care of for life because I gave

               You the opportunity to shake them off like you

               Did with me for your survival.

 

               I wish I could write you a letter where I am to

               Tell you that you may have forgotten me but I

               Didn’t, I remember you at a point of no return

               Day and night and I will always strive for your

               Shine and survival even in my death.
