Tell Me How, When They are Long gone

AN OBITUARY POEM TO YOU DEAR FRIEND.

 PENINAH KOBUSINGYE...

Tell me how...

Tell me how to turn new page
When my tears touched each of them till the last one?
How to move on
When the strength and hope left me alone?
How to open my eyes tomorrow and look the new dawn
When they are dead?
Tell me how?

How to believe that everything will be alright
When sorrow walks among us, bringing pain with each touch?
How to walk through all this darkness
When my soul is drowned deep into it?

How to look at the others

RIP Kobusinge Penninah

When I can’t even look at myself?

Oh, I look… I look at some time
Long gone you are !
Searching for that piece of life I left somewhere in time.
I look at an illusion wishing it was true
Wishing I was here with you.

So many questions
None with an answer
Only silence…
And the silence is killing me
The silence, eternally
Silence filled with screams and words never told
The silence – elegy for the one gone long ago.
We love you Pennie...Rest In peace.
