Where Art Thou My Love? Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Where art thou my love?
searching around the corners
listening through the crevices
I wonder where you went
I ponder over the loss day and night
Reminiscing about the old times
when you lived in my heart
bathed in my heart
and slept in my heart
forever I shall not forget
the wonderful moments consumed
cherished forever
arousing an oasis of serenity within my heart
the memory so elusive
staying only for a moment
as I embraced you my love
you vanished in my hands

Where art thou my love?
everlasting in my heart
embroidered in my soul
forever engraved in my mind
sealed with gold
the memory so elusive
staying only for a moment
as I embraced you my love
you vanished in my hands

Where art thou my love?
why are you hiding from me?
leaving me here to wander
searching in vain
yearning for your smell
the taste of your flavor
ever present in my mouth
causing my heart to hunger
the memory so elusive
staying only for a moment
as I embraced you my love
you vanished in my hands
