The Echo Of My Heart Poem by Linus Kithinji Njeru

I wait in silence, heart so deep,
For your return, the love I keep.
The nights are long, the days are cold,
And in my chest, my story's told.
Each step you take, I feel it here,
A whisper faint, a voice I hear.

The winds do call your name to me,
A distant cry, a memory.
I trace the stars, each gleaming light,
And search for you in endless night.
Though miles may stand between our hearts,
In every breath, my soul departs.

The scent of you is still my guide,
In dreams, you walk right by my side.
But waking brings the ache, the sting—
That absence steals what joy could bring.
I long to feel your touch once more,
To open wide that sacred door.

I dream of days when we unite,
Under the stars, in the soft moonlight.
But time stands still, it won't relent,
While my heart aches, so quiet, bent.
The seconds pass, but none too fast,
As love remains in shadows cast.

Yet still, I wait, I hold my place,
For you, my love, my warm embrace.
With hope that one day you will see,
The endless longing here in me.
