Njeri Hunjeri Poet Verse

Five Hearts Ago

Five hearts ago of lovers and sweethearts 
Five hearts ago of promises and memories 
We had something
Each of you in our own sentences 
Each of you sang me a different melody
That heart it's own uniqueness 

Five hearts ago of heartbreak and hurt
Five hearts ago of sadness and giving up
The road became rocky with each new day
The heart slowly eroded and withered
Its stems synchronized with death calls
Departures, short stays and passersby became the norm 

Five hearts ago in the love boot camp
Five hearts ago in the penthouse of something like lust
The heart built a wall of its own
Bigger than the five hearts
Pumping blood further than the five hearts 
Writing new chapters, per its language 
Answering new assignments, on its orders 
No more five hearts
Thank you five hearts

Julia Ward July 1, 2015 at 1:06 AM That's an effective poem, with its concentration on five hearts giving a sense of a lot of time passing - the time the narrator was with the lovers and the gaps in between. Julia, xx

Eileen Manassian June 30, 2015 at 1:24 PM I'm intrigued by the meaning of five hearts. Very interesting poem, my dear....I loved the boot camp bit and the penthouse of lust. Creative imagery. Hugs
