Friend!

Once a trusted friend,

Handy like a right hand man,

Always there whenever needed,

Smiling and laughing,

As if happiness was his first name,and laughter his sir name,

His teeth were like the fresh milk of Rubindi,

His eyes shiny like the night stars,

His complexion very attractive, with a flawless skin like that of a new born,

His ears flaring in the air,one would think he’s cousins with the elephant.

Then a time came when all that changed.

The smile vanished into thin air

The laughter faded within a flash with the sound disappearing in the wind

The once shiny and happy friend

Turned gloomy,I could only compare him to darkness.

Solitude was his first name,sorrow and pain became his family

His white teeth became a rare gem,invincible like your imagination

The once bright eyes were filled with rage,pain,sorrow and anger.

It was hard to fathom what was going on his mind

The flawless skin became a crocodile’s skin

His figure was lean,tall and hopeless

The only thing that remained standing out were his elephant ears.

His world stopped

The pace slowed

The laughter faded

The breath silent

The heartbeat weakened

The sowing collapsed

Just like that his eyes closed

Free from the evil of this world

Free from the treacherous humans

Just like that the heartbeat stopped

No more pulse rate,no more movement

Just like that he was like a log of wood

He laid there lifeless,motionless

One could think he is sleeping

But that was not the case,he was gone.

Gone forever

Never to be seen nor see

Never to be felt nor feel

Never to be heard nor hear

Never to smile,never to laugh,never to be happy nor angry

Never to flare his elephant ears

Never to breath again

Just like that he was six feet under

Just like that he was an angel around the throne since that day. #intropoetry
