Teddy Kimathi Poet Free verse

Maria

I give her my umbrella, as raindrops
drum my back.

I persevere the weight of books,
as she picks them from the library shelves.

I call her in the middle of the night,
just to hear her voice.

She calls me "friend",
I call her "dear". I wish she would
know that she's the only girl
I call "dear".

I wish she could be keen in listening
to the way my heart calls out her name;
keen in seeing and feeling the way I hold
her hand as we jump into a train.

I pray that one day her lips will meet mine....
