If Only You Had Waited Poem by Melody Thaila Kuku

If only you had waited,

We could have changed things,

If only you had waited

We could have tuned the stars

To sing medleys of joy,

If only you had waited,

Your rainbow would have kissed the skies

But then, you left....



And now the birds sing no more,

songs of hope

And now your clouds be dark,

Time's wind prick your soul with callous hands

You shiver in the cold of fear,

When you would have been

wrapped in the arms of my

soothing words.



So now,

Each dawn i sigh,

My heart weep sour tears as the

threads of your soul loosen,

One after the other,

And like a confused ghost,

Wandering over the silent soil of

the graveyard,

So you wander,

Lost in your cracked world.




Oh! If only you had waited,

The world would have bowed to us,

For we would have woven

baskets of talents,

That the world had never seen

But you left,

Leaving in my hands,

Your wasted dreams.
