Dear fellow poets
I've had to delete some of my poems here because they've been published in my debut poetry collection 'Echoes of My Heart'.

I'd like to thank you all for your support, advice, feedback, likes and shares.

I will continue posting new poems although right now I'm quite busy with marketing the book. And I'm  sorry I haven't been around to read your poems here.... will be back soon....

A huge thank you to David Mungoshi for editing the book.

Here is the link to the book:

I love you all..... keep penning those poems....

Constance
I never dreamed
I’d say goodbye—
The thought was just too far.
Your name was written
In every tomorrow,
Not in the silence of stars.

Plans lay folded,
Like clothes we never wore,
Journeys whispered
But never begun.
Words caught in the hush
Between heartbeats—
And now, they're gone.

I never saw it coming,
This aching, quiet end.
The world still turns,
But I remain—
Still not ready
To let you go.
Still holding on
To then.
A tribute to my mentor and editor, the late David Mungoshi. The man who introduced me to HelloPoetry... You are missed everyday! Sleep on, Dave.
