Kate Lechoe Poems

When I look into your eyes, I see my image,
The same way you see your image in my eyes.
I believe that it is a prediction of our future,
We will continue seeing each other and our images,
...

Indeed,
Be in good faith
With those who are dear to you.
Show that you need them
...

How you listened through my mother’s womb,
I was also listening to your voice,
Your touch on the womb,
I felt your gentle palm passing over my world.
...

The memories no longer linger in my mind for long,
They are long gone than I anticipated before,
It’s like the new appearance of a desert after a wind storm,
The dunes shift to a new position and size,
...

I gave you my all,
I showed you my all,
But what did you give in return?
A broken heart,
...

I'll be there for you,
Next to your heart, to listen,
By your side, to walk with you,
I'll never leave you when troubled.
...

Every part of me is not acknowledging your absence,
But I have to let you go.
It has taken me much longer to accept this.
Maybe your love was like wind,
...

Maybe our meeting wasn’t meant to produce this.
I think we were just supposed to say ‘hello’ and depart,
Never to keep on seeing each other frequently.
Because each day I get to know you better,
...

The women before fought for the woman of today,
In order for her to be in better position,
A position where her voice could be heard by others,
Her views could be seen as of substance,
...

Family is very important in a society,
All or most yearn to have one; a perfect one.
Moments of happiness and sadness,
Is what each family goes through,
...
