Amharic poetry

My friend told me a story, sad story. While he was young, too young to understand external love he was struck by the beauty a one of his age girl. If he could explain her at the time he would say he wanted to be with her every micro second of his life. Then I asked him "do you know why?" " I don't know. But I felt something that I would never experience somewhere else." Something must everything. Comfort, happiness, secure, welcomed, loved, supported and many more words to use as far as defining "Something" Later on they couldn't get together again and the only reason is just geographical distance. I wrote this poem to get relieved from this sad story.

የልጅነት ትውስታ                       

ያ’ኔ እውድሽ ነበር መሰለኝ

ይሄው ስር የሰደደ ፍቅርሽ

ዛሬ ገዝፎ ትዝታሽ ገደለኝ

አትጠይቂኝ፡ እንዴት አትበይኝ

ልጅ ነበርኩኝ እኮ ፍቅር ያልተረዳው

ቁጥርስ መች አውቅና መደመር መቀነስ

በሒሳብ ስሌት መጠየቅ መመለስ

ቁጥርን ከፍቅር ፍቅርን ከቁጥር ማጣመር

የፍቅር ጨዋታ ብትምህርት መቀመር::

ባይሎጂ ምን’ልበለው

በሰውነት ንኪኪ መጋል: መቃጠል ላፍ’ታ

ተላቆ መቀዝቀዝ የልጅነት ጨዋታ።

ያ’ኔ እውድሽ ነበር መሰለኝ

ይሄው ስር የሰደደ ፍቅርሽ

ዛሬ ገዝፎ ትዝታሽ ገደለኝ

ውቅያኖስ ላይዘልቅ ስደትን ላይገታ

ጠዋት ተዋወቅን ተለያየን ማታ

መጥፎ ግዜ ደርሶ ፍቅራችንን ገታ

አንቺ ከባህር ማዶ እኔም ባለሁበት

ትዝታ ሳይገድለኝ ብንገናኝ ምን አለበት

አዎ: ትዝታሽ ሳይገድለኝ ብንገናኝ ምን አለበት::

Beauty is in words!
