Waiting For The Postman Poem by Kareem Azeez
Waiting For The Postman
They say we are going home,
but home is where we take our last breath.
home is where my heart belongs,
But before I go, I will keep waiting! !
I waited for far too long
for the letter you sent,
I waited everyday at the door step,
waiting for your gentle footstep, those steps of truth
like a tree with different branches,
I hope i did locate your fangs, the language of our people,
but the mail never came
and the letters you wrote,
I didn't see
some say the postman had gone the way of his heart,
others say the postman had lost his way to my home, But-
-just before I go, i sigh a sign of incredible relief,
just before I go, I hope you understand how confused together our time was,
You cannot read, and me i cannot write,
So people dictate how we live our lives,
but just before I go,
No matter how far I roam,
My heart still is locked in-between your delicate walks......
I sadly wish to see the sad words of your letters,
and perhaps a surprise, smile from an unlikely source......
just before I go,
I hope the postman locates my home
for this flesh wrinkles so much for your letter...
Don't hear about me, from people,
Ask me about me from me if ever we meet again....✍🏾
Until then, may the skies of foreign land
Cover your blushes
For Enitan T.

Just poetry.
" Until then, may the skies of foreign land Cover your blushes" . Heartiest congrats on poem of the Day.
Oh life! Cover your blushes; Oh love! ! Cover your blushes Hope is ahead. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
A beautiful and sad poem hoping for realization of a hope. Congrats for POD.
Deep passionate feeling nicely brought forth with clarity of thought and mind. Very heartfelt.
The metaphored poem is true unique. I have never read like this. So many hidden messages inside. This poem has a powerful start in these two lines: I cite them here: They say we are going home, but home is where we take our last breath.. My heart leaps up, I am tremendously shocked, after having realized that YOUR HOME IS YOUR GRAVE. I wish to say, may you keep wandering the longest time. Touching story.
IF I MAY SAY, this is a poem from a poet who still lives in a country full of dictator's rules. This heart touching poem is the result of a person's thought who may still not write what his heart is urging. This poem has not only a double meaning but it can be interpreted into more meanings. CONGRATULATIONS as the Member Poem Of The Day.10
I had been living in Indonesia. Last 19th April was the election for a new president, I do hope that this present president would be chosen again by the Indonesians, because from the first president till 2014, all the previous ones were all corrupt. This present president is the first true honest one. Imagine so long independent and just now this president is building up whole Indonesia. And Indonesia is a very big country, at least 3000 islands or are has it 30.000?
