I Dont Wish Poem by Thabitha Marakalala

I don't wish

Another year has come to an end
And your face still hangs on the walls of my eyes
I still see the reflection of you in my heart
Inspiration to my never ceasing art
I still search for your face in crowds
Even though you dwell somewhere above the clouds
They still say you watching over me
They still say you in a better place
But I still wish life could have gave you another chance

I don't wish for much
But just to hear your voice once again
Just to feel your touch on this scars that remain
I only wish
To feel your presence
Even if you are in silence

I don't wish for much
But to just sit under the moon with you
Laugh at your lame jokes
Slowly wrap myself in your arms
I just wish
To listen to your beating heart
Stare as you smile from your cheeks

I don't wish for much
But to just hold you
One last time
Recite to you rhyme after rhyme
I only wish
To breath the scent of your skin
Live in your chest as you breathin
I wish to feel your love again
Dance holding your hand in the drizzling rain

I still sleep with the light on
Hoping you would still come in and turn it off
I still wear your favourite shirt to bed
Hoping you would come and order me to take it off
I still dragg my feet everymorning
Hoping I would feel you pushing me to get going
I still stand in the rain
Thinking it will wash of this pain
I don't wish for much
But to see you once again
Even if its at a distance
I just need that one more chance

I miss you big bro
and no matter how hard I smile
Everyday is the same
The wind still carries your name
I lost you bro
But found myself in your remains
You gone from my face
But dwell in the depth of my heart
I don't wish for much
But to whisper to your ears
How much I love you and more....
