Colours

Yellow

If you be the sun
If you be the lemon
If you be the sunflower
If you be the pineapple

Let me be the rain
Let me be the sugar
Let me be the plant
Let me be your mother

I had a father
Who is much like your
Nemesis
Who dared not dream
And did not respect
Those who did

I walked in your school shoes
The ones you wished would
Disintegrate

Because I am your mother
The one who bore you
Into this world

You told me, without
Me, you will not be
But I think the shoe is
On the other foot

Who would have thought
My dream would come true
It came true
With you.






Red (To my childhood)

Red the shoes
Red the bag
Red the lips
Red the cheeks
Red the hair
Red the flair

Come back I cry
For my sorrow
Is burning me
To nothingness

Let me go
I plead
I want nothing to do
With how I bleed

Let go
Memories
Pain
Futility
Frustration

I am not alone
But my brothers
My sisters
They are silent
Silenced by the
Weapons of terror
By the cold stare
And the cold heart


Red the sun
Red the moon
Red the stars
Red the scars
Too soon
You were gone.
