I Waited At The River Poem by Chikondi Daniel Dziko

I waited at the river
Yearning for your love
Longing to see you
Just to hold you
Feel you, Hear your voice
Oh! my love, where were you?

I waited at the river
The summers burning with love
Dying for your breath
The winters so cold
Craving for your warmth
Oh! my love, why did you take long?

The storm grew so hard
The river turned into a mirage of love
And when the kamvuluvulu came
I moved on, see love
I waited at the river
I couldn't wait no more

But my love you promised you would wait.
