WHAT WAS... ISN'T WHAT IT IS!

 

What Was... Isn’t What It Is!

What was... isn’t what happened.

Once we shared the same sunshine and dreamt together in our rugged youth.

I looked at her through my innocent eyes of youth and before I knew it.... She was all wrapped around my heart

We had a lot in common and never ran out of topics to debate each other.

She respected me and I adored and crowned her the Star of my Day!

Stinti was my childhood sweetheart, my dreams into my foreseeable future.

I always looked forward to be with her and she felt the same way.

What was... isn’t what it is today and what happened... isn’t what should have been. I loved her with all my heart and soul.

What could have been... is what we both wanted. But alas, as fate would have it...

Ours was just another dizzy dream washed out at sea inside the ocean of drifting waters!

Her beautiful, teasing and yet embracing smile inspired me to write my First ever Poem and the Greatest to date.

My Ode To Beautiful....was the only way I could express my deep and sublime feelings for her.

It took the whole evening for me to write this one Special Sonnet I dedicated for her birthday. I know she loved it so dearly.

These were the most important Fourteen Lines I have ever written for a girl in my life.

What was isn’t what it is today and what happened isn’t what should have been. I loved her with all my heart and soul.

Unfortunately, sometimes the setting of the sun isn’t as exciting as its rising.

Dreaming continues right into the brightness of the day.

Shadows hanging over the horizon always bid farewell to all what could have been in the day’s struggle.

Even Methuselah the oldest recorded human being at 969 years: never had the same day repeated once in all his days.

After all these decades past, while sitting alone with my thoughts of yesteryears... Her image dropped down from the skies.

O God, I remember my Childhood Sweetheart in a good way.

We never quarrelled or scratched each other throughout the time we spent together.

I stood no chance since her future had already been decided by her parents and I was not the preferred boy.

I was not bitter nor hating. My sad heart carried me and I got over and accepted what never was.

Could have been or should have been... is a story for another lifetime which was never authorised by Heaven.

What was isn’t what it is today and what happened isn’t what should have been. I loved her with all my heart and soul.

My heart is excited and over the moon after discovering she is still around.

When I lay my eyes upon her again after all these years...

I want to Thank Her for being the Foundation and Inspiration for all my Talents and Gift of Writing!

Hello World. This is Pikelela Speaking. I salute and Introduce to you...

The Girl who gave birth to all the Ocean of Words I write about today!  

My Ode To Beautiful... I stringed these words with the veins of my heart.

Girl O Girl, this old heart of mine still reminisces about our sweet old days.

Glad after all these years... we kept our lanes inside the River of Life... our Faith in God!

Looking into your eyes and beautiful face sandwiched within your sweet smile...

I see my deferred future fading inside the horizon which never appeared!

What wasn’t and could have been as should have  been... remain worlds apart.

Stinti. One of the Seven Wonders in the Cosmos of my Heart and Soul.
