Broken but beautiful #Poetry
I’ve closed my eyes and tried to sleep
But the images flicker beneath shuttered lids.
Songs, music, a happy beat
Punctured by the echoing shots
Gunfire
Smoke in the air
My hair
My belly
My bloodied wrists.
Longing #Poetry
I’ve watched this sky everyday
Hoping it’ll show me these colours
Once again
This confluence of aquamarine and baby pink
That merge almost effortlessly
Yet stay apart, distinctly.
I watch this sky today
And miss you every moment of every waking day
I long to sit by you
Pour out my heart
Watch as you listen
And lift me up
Like the sky that bears
The gentle pink clouds.
I will watch this sky everyday
And with all my soul, pray
That the Universe will bring you back
And let us be together
Inseparable, come what may.
