P.I.E.C.E.S Poem by Anitah Muwanguzi

Scattered across the universe

Blown by the wind

Pieces of you



I see your eyes in the eyes of a stranger

This bellies time and distance

Echoes of your voice ring and bounce right back

I chuckle because it is crazy

You keep sending me pieces of you

Whether or not you mean to



When the sky is dark

and I see the twinkle of city lights across the expanse

I think that we have both stood here before

With twin expressions

Afraid to speak our thoughts

It might be too soon, but kindred spirits we are



I hear a song, and I know you will love it

Because I love it and you would love it because we both do

Your laughing eyes are engraved in my vision

Your smile brightens up every day

But in my dreams, you're always leaving....................
