Nancy Handabile Poems

The other day
I woke up feeling low
I tried not to think about you
to stop the inevitable tears that threatened to fall.
...

On my mind scarily,
I am craving that which I have never tasted,
Wanting it to last forever yet it hasn't began.
U are my secret addiction,
...

There are a lot of moments

The thought owns me
...

When nothing makes sense

The thought of him draws me in deeper
...

Something I could never have
Someone I could never have
A mockery of love
A taunting of my emotions
...

I once knew a man who loved me dearly.
He was older much older than l, with all the idiosyncrasies that come from old age.

He was grouchy, grumpy and at times mean-spirited but he loved me dearly.
...

I hold his hand and place it on my waist

You walk into the club
...

She claims him but his heart belongs to me.

The intricacies of this situation constantly drowning me in waves of uncertainty.
...

He is what he is
Two days down the line
And I am missing him
His smile which is rarely given
...

I think of him every so often
His skin under my touch
His fingers weaving into mine.
I think of him
...
