When in Doubt, post Friendship Poem ( Tribute Part I )

Silhouettes of Separation

I saw the seeds of yesterday
So later would bloom the memories
I pluck that very smile of yours
In my heart they will lay.

I engrave the bittersweetness
of life in my soul
And the pureness of our friendship
I lift the past from its shadow
As I shed my tears away.

I see the silhouettes of tomorrow
It is my fear come true
I cry and mourn for this sorrow
And in my dreams, I remember you.


For the life of me, this is one of my favourite poems. Given to me from my best friend in STF.

It was just a simple composition, very beautifully written, yet moving and touching at the same time. The second you finished the last line, you know it was written by the heart.

When heart speaks, you can see there’s no boastful elements to make the writing simply pretty with made up substances. Plain honesty. When heart speaks, the integration of words with one another as if they all hold hands, the words were born to sit there, tied together, formed as a poem. When heart speaks, it’s like a compressed story that flows like a breeze, almost like a beautiful melody where the tunes are just perfect.

To the friend whom I received this poem from, in tribute to our friendship, there will be more treasured compositions to be monumented here.

For our bittersweet experiences that we once shared, and also as a marker and inspiration to all blooming friendships everywhere.

Here’s to friendships, and love, may God Almighty bless us all.
