Lilian Wanjira Biography

Reading has always been my passion.I remember reading the famous short stories (back in the 90's) like The beautiful Nyakio, Truphena the student nurse and others. I used to re-read them so many times. My years in high school made me love reading (especially poetry) even more as we were to write our own poems. I still do a lot of reading..though motherhood and work are making me do less reading than before..am not complaining though'.. ;) At times, after work, I compose some short poems depending on my mood.. I will not call myself a professional in this.. This is my hobby..)

The Best Poem Of Lilian Wanjira

It Felt Like

When i met you,
It felt like.. i knew you,
It felt like.. life is all new,
Even after letting me know,
Of your dark past, i knew,
I could change and mend it a new,
With you, my dark days were few,
Ah! ! It felt like..like...dew!

We made it together,
Rising each other,
As the days went further,
Up until signals came my way,
Trying so much not to sway,
It felt like i was placed as hay,
Waiting for the great and big day,
It felt like..like..am being betrayed!

You all along knew,
That our days were few,
Giving up what we had,
And making your heart hard,
Leaving me with scars,
Scars that i would treat alone,
Alone with my crying heart,
Broken heart..painful tears..
You could have told me..
But...
It really felt like..
I was lost...
