Sixth Sense

Kaci Tami 1960 (Vatukoula)

Free verse
I want to scream out loud
I want to be held
I want a kiss goodnight
I want so many things
I used to get before
I want, I want...
just a little something
to make me feel loved again
to make me feel wanted again
For lately, I have felt
nothing but the frigidity
of being frozen out of your love
nothing but coldness
There is something amiss about you
That even those arms
no longer enrap me
That even those lips
No longer kiss me
And all point to a sense
That something is terribly wrong
That something is amiss
And I cannot fathom this mysterious ailment
That has surrounded our family
There is a modicum of suspicions
But I dare not open
Pandora's box
And see my soul
Laid bare within!

Kaci Tami

I am an aspiring writer, poet, teller of tales that is me. I have always seen things in a different light and from my perspective, it gives you an insight into what makes me tick as a human being. My life is always hectic and the most important thing I have learnt is that there are three things that one should value in life (a) Your loved ones (b)Your health (c) The memories you create with people. In the end, we all leave this world alone, so spend time creating memories and meaningful relationships with individuals and society at large. My poems reflect my perspective on the world at large both real and imagined. I am in the process of collating an anthology of poems so I can share my likes, dislikes and life with others. Thank you for reading my poems more…
