Michael Poem by jasmine muthoni

Douse the lights, let darkness creep in. all said and done in light will be our reflection in the dark. Search for my shadow, I’ll search for your shadow. How worthy it would be to find you.
I’ll linger in the dark for awhile, awaiting for your heart to let me in. There, I’ll find the serenity I long for.
Your light will shed grace upon me.
Moment! ! Haven’t you found my heart?
Here it is then, I lay it on a silver platter: I offer myself to you.
If I beg I lose my dignity but I hold you in high regard
I know you won’t put me through such an ordeal although honestly I wouldn’t mind enduring it for I love you so very much.
How can I make you see? How sad I am without you, how much my heart yearns just to entwine with your heart?
Whatsoever you desire: to be in the dark
To be in the light

Love me either way: I’ll be your little secret
I’ll be your greatest love

Whatever you offer let it be of comfort to me, surely you’ve had me before you know how I taste, how I feel I’m an open book to you that you’ve read and re-read how so can it be that you desire me less? I saw it in your eyes then, the love. The love I so deeply want
Yes, you may have not confessed it with your two beautiful lips but your eyes may have deceived you for they burn with love for me.

Please don’t deny me happiness you know how happy I am with you, how I blubber worse than a fool in your presence.
Don’t ask me to love another for I can’t and I don’t want to
All your ways I adore, there’s nothing imperfect about you,
Cant you see how much I hurt without you? How sorrowful my life is, tears just stain my pillow on a daily basis.
What can I say to change your heart? What can I say to make you see that I see the love you possess is truly meant for me?
Don’t you see how daft you’re hiding what is so visible?
I’m vexed with your behaviour
This unfathomable event has left me cold and lonely for I desire nothing more than your love.
Is it not beautiful when we share those moments though short, bring forth so much joy? When we lock lips together, embrace each other so tightly one could think we are Siamese twins
Don’t you feel it? Are you not flesh and blood? Don’t you have a heart?
Well I know you do for when am close to you I feel it beat faster than usual
Regardless till now you deny me the truth you utter lies
Thank God your eyes are not accustomed to lies for you contradict what your eyes reveal.
I know you feel it too please just say it so my dear.
You hold back for some reasons unknown to me
Well you still have my heart and I don’t have yours
That’s bitter cruel of you
You hurt me
You cause me pain
But it differs not me I still love you
