Letter To Venus Poem by Thabitha Marakalala

A letter to Venus

I wrote you a letter
Cause my heart's thoughts
I failed to utter
From that moment I met you
I started saying my prayers
I wished to be in the midst of your heart
I fell for you from the very first start
I wished to pull you close
My soul's thoughts I wanted to disclose

I wished to hold you tight
Through out the dark cold night
I wished to breath on your skin
Stare at you as you deeply breathed in
I wished to kiss your soft lips
Feel them with my fingertips
I wanted to give you my all
So you can break down this wall
Around you heart
I promise I will never break it apart

I wanted to give you a red Rose
And take you to a place nobody knows
I would undress your soul
And dress your open wounds
Your heart's cracks i wanted to seal
Where it pained I wanted to heal
I wished to hold your hand
And make you understand
My only intention is to love you
With every beat in my heart
Give me a chance
we will forever be one part

I wrote you this letter
Cause I know your pains
And all the scars that remains
I know you regard me as a friend
My fears i have to fend
It's time I tell you
What lies deep inside my heart
I love you and that's the truth
Life is too short to pretend
This fear in me it had to come to an end

I had this thought that you would hate me
Honestly I never wanted to lose you
This love goes strong
And I go weak
Cause the truth can't be hidden
Like the sun and the moon
So i wrote this letter
Cause I can't sing
Am tired of speaking in tongues
So I made Pen and paper
my voice to you.........
