Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

I Can Smile

I can smile
        So he said
Write me a love poem
        So I joked

Have me in your dreamy naps
        So he said
What happened to the mother of second chances 
        He asked and I laughed

Somewhere in the cellular matter of little details 
The doubled glasses only stained the vision
Somewhere in the unequal waves of commitment 
The mind's power was endlessly plagued 

In a strained relationship 
Tugs and wars took center stage 
Claiming the forbidden trophy again
Of a never ever love.

Ken Jordan June 30, 2015 at 10:14 AM Wow! This one struck a seven! the word phrasing is spot-on. Sounds to me, Njeri, that you have strong convictions about love, and if the other half is not fulfilling his part, then where is love. Great write. Always Ken Njeri Hunjeri July 21, 2015 at 7:00 PM Thank u Ken for this awesome visit and the awesome seven
