by Tiema Muindi
What I wish for died before
Perhaps not
Or may be
Not of this world
Or shall not be so
What I wish for
My happiness to be
I have tried and failed
Many times before
Choices I made
Turned upside down
Not that my hand made it be
Not that my heart
Loved her not
Perhaps what I wish for
Died before
I have shed tears
Never tricked down my cheek
Tears that spoke now words
I have shed tears
Never wet my chest
Tears that exposed no sorrow
That you could see a grieving soul
But in the being of me
A self burn
A self weeps
Perhaps what I wish for
Died before
Perhaps not
Or may be
Not of this world
Or shall not be so
What I wish for
My happiness to be
I have tried and failed
Many times before
Choices I made
Turned upside down
Not that my hand made it be
Not that my heart
Loved her not
Perhaps what I wish for
Died before
I have shed tears
Never tricked down my cheek
Tears that spoke now words
I have shed tears
Never wet my chest
Tears that exposed no sorrow
That you could see a grieving soul
But in the being of me
A self burn
A self weeps
Perhaps what I wish for
Died before

Maureen Direro: "Wow,that was great simple yet into the point with an oomph of what you believed,that i must admit was awesome"- Ashok Kumar Madhunlall: "Poetry - The language of the heart - I can feel your heart beat and rythym."
- Christopher Kudyahakudadirwe: "Muindi, this poem is a very good one. It carries all the ingredients of fine verse. However, I think you need to edit it carefully here and there e.g. I think 'A self burn' should read as 'A self burns' and tears 'trickle' down your cheeks."
