Echo Of Nearness

Silent night echoes,

broad daylight echoes,

where does she begin to look?

She gives time a chance,

loosens her wary heart,

takes a quiet breath.


And then,

she hears it.


An echo from within,

yet distant as a fading call.

She has been pursuing endlessly,

not knowing

it has always lingered beside her,

soft, patient, waiting:

the echo of affection.

DUST IN THE WIND

Each dawn, with the rising sun the flicker of lights sparkle into my lazy eyes as I draw the curtains reminiscing every beautiful moment, our story. my heart, body, and soul  yearns for your embrace, of the dust in the wind. however, my memory of you is a prick in the heart. hurts and cuts deeper than a sharp blade. everyday, as I lay in bed, thinking, missing, the dust in the wind. with pleadingly stretched arms,  I try to reach for you, and you fleetly slip between my fingers right before my rainy eyes as I feel your presence disappear. dusk till dawn, hope for another day. the dust in the wind. _ Gladwill Maiyo

ENCHANTED CAFE GLANCE

Seated by the coffee table in the cozy cafĂ©, Cappuccino in hand from delicate porcelain cups, my friends and I engaged, In ceaseless banter, chuckling at our shared tales, Amidst mirth, you caught my eye, across the room, Nestled at a corner, in the company of suited gentlemen, pens poised, notes in hand, "Business dealings," my presumption, as I observed the scene, With elbow on table, chin upon my palm, entranced by your gaze so captivating, Unbeknownst to me, that initial glance spun a reverie around me, a world of my own. A fairy tale unfurled, where all I beheld was a resplendent king. In you, the embodiment of my cherished dream.                 _Gla Maiyo_

ENIGMA IN BEAUTY

They question her identity, They inquire, "Who is she?" She embodies all that's pure, An angel of striking grace, Her beauty divine, a celestial glow, Her smile, a charming killer's flair  Dimples so endearing, they steal the show In high heels, silken grace, she dons her strap dress, her elegance unveiled, beauty hailed in every pace. Her soul, a masterpiece, radiant and whole, Heart's true muse, a work of art. I affirm with delight.
