Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

Let Me Hold Your Mic

Let me feel your pain

Let me disappear in your depth

Let me paint with your tears

Let me read from your wrinkles 

Let me hold the gem that makes you 

Let my tongue speak of the strength, that's you

I hear you
I feel your pain
I respect the strength, that's you

Inspired by Darlene Gifford's poems: on the bridge too far, a rainbow glitters, my little soldier boy and on the beach at dusk
