    To A Lost One

    Uploaded by

    Eller-jed M. Mendoza
    The poem is about a speaker who is addressing their lost lover. In three sentences: The speaker says they will haunt and visit the lost lover through their memories, comparing themselves to the lingering twilight. The lost lover will not be able to forget the speaker, as they will come to them again through sensations like starlight, flowers, and the melody of rain. The poem describes how the lost lover will be startled into remembrance of the speaker by the tragic-eyed twilight peering into their window in stillness with its hand upon the window.

    TO A LOST ONE

    I shall haunt you, O my lost one, as the twilight

    Haunts a reed-entangled trail

    And your dreams will linger strangely with the music

    Of a phantom lover’s tale

    You shall not forget for I am past forgetting

    I shall come to you again

    With the starlight and the scent of wild champacaz

    And the melody of rain

    You shall not forget dusk will peer into your

    Window, tragic-eyed and still

    And unbidden, startle you into remembrance

    With its hand upon the still
