Where Hope Waited
I left the path untouched
wood still breathing over the river
that learned the sound of your name
Your number still sleeps in my phone
a ghost curled inside glass,
waking hope
every time the screen flickers
Our pictures remain
small museums of a past
that refuses to close its eyes
And my arms
two empty rooms
still warm
from the last time you lived there
Read the rest of the poem Show less
I thought leaving everything open
would guide you home
But seasons crossed that path
more faithfully than you ever did
Rain waited with me.
The moon watched.
And slowly
even hope
stopped listening for your footsteps.

About Me
About me
My name is Shantelle Moyo.I am from Zimbabwe but currently in South Africa.I love literature.I've been captivated by the power of words for as long as I can remember. I find inspiration in the beauty of nature, the complexities of human emotions, and the stories that lie within everyday moments. My writing often weaves together vivid imagery and heartfelt themes, and I love experimenting with different styles and forms.I am inspired by the poet,Kristina Mar.
