Nostalgic Throwback

By Joshua A. Apolonio

Whenever I reminisce my past times,

I wonder how these poems had their own rhymes.

Remembering a long lost idea;

I just felt a pang of nostalgia.

Recall, recollect, remember past life.

Tears just fell, like my heart was on a knife.

How I wish bringing back the times and years

And reflect and feel my previous, past fears.

Pictures may do, I see them with pleasure.

Still, I am missing them. This I am sure.

Yes, I believe that life is so rapid.

Seeing the photos, tears went to my lids.

Again, still wishing I can bring back time

Wondering again how these poems had rhyme.

Bringing back time may really sound silly

But lone God can bring back reality.
