A Poem For Nikolai

He's a young boy
And an old man
With a smile full of blissful summer
And eyes plagued with the decay of age
He's wise beyond his eighteen years;
A good fellow
With poetry on his tongue
He opens his mouth
And as he speaks,
With ease,
He causes laughter to erupt in bursts
He's just a funny guy
To those who don't bother
To get to know him better
He's a fellow
Who never receives all he deserves
A guy
Who is never given the love he's due
He has a dream in his heart
Of a perfect life
With a perfect girl
Who loves him even more
Than anyone or anything
Knowing his worth
More than diamonds;
More than gold;
More than the whole, entire world
He's a good friend
The best kind to be
And he deserves the same;
Deserves the kind of friendship he has to share
He's a lost soul
Who deserves at least
The missing pieces
Of the puzzle

E muja oui, Hegumye.
