All of Me

Ugonna Wachuku

 

The sea is so silent
on distant horizons.
Heart-beats tell stories
of love and parting.

 

Like whistling waterfalls,
I follow your path in nature.
I follow the dream of your
disarming beauty.

 

I follow the welcoming
road to your deep inspiration.
And in your emerald eyes, life
is born anew for humanity and
for little me.

 

Now, I am back to the
pathway; back to those
sweet dreams you hold
for me in your soul.

 

So, when I tell you
stories from my caring
soul, do not wait, take
these stories within you
and remember that whatever
you do, I'll always love you.
Remember all of me
even when I am gone
because just one day,
I'll surely go the
way of all mankind.

 

Remember all of me,
if you will, even
when I am gone.
And indeed, in your
enrapturing
emerald
eyes,
life
will
be
born
anew
for
humanity
and
for
l
i
t
t
l
e
me.

All Of Me was also the title of a song my father used to sing, from
the fifties, I think. (Don't take my word for that). But that is why I
clicked on the poem from your index.  I love these two lines:  I
follow your path in nature. I follow the dream of your disarming
beauty.  Very interesting to read and interpret in several ways.

Dear Ugonna  An evening spent in your poetic presence ...  So many
stories to tell;  so many songs to sing.  Life is forever Arrival and
Depature.  Dreams are universal breathing: the inhalation of
everlasting yearning.  Ah, to follow the Path, reaching at last
distant, evasive horizons!  Myra Sun

What a wonderfull poem. Men, you're great! You know what, you made me
remember the time I was in college(Brazil), I made friends to the
eternity and for a moment I was traveling on the time and felt between
then again. We had a good time together, we enjoyed the nature there,
every single act, every single word. This is a kind of love, when you
find friends and can count on them, you found a treasure. And your
poem made me live my precious moment again. Thank you for be an
inspired poet! Keep going, you're on the right way! See ya!

So very beautiful and thought provoking!  This is the first one of
your poems I've read, and I must tell you how impressed I am.  Having
read many of the critiques you've left others on their work, I finally
see what you are all about.  A wonderful, beautiful person, and so
very talented!

Kind regards,
Tricia
