Away

Lately
I don’t feel close
to poetry.

It feels elusive.
Unfamiliar.
Once it spoke to me.
But now it’s mute.

It sits back
and doesn’t look
at me.

If I call out
it doesn’t hear.

Lately poetry is
like that demon
I used to want
to reappear.
The fish of colour ,swim up and down the stream
In Geometric patterns , serene

Ocean waves on the shore , rush and recede
Empty shells cowries and conches it brings

The crests and troughs in a sine wave
Sometimes in life , the same
I wrote a poem when I died...
Another at my birth.
A brand-new sonnet when I cried.
And again when there was mirth.

A song for my confession...
A story for my pain...
A painting for depression...
And nursery rhymes for rain.

My creations live inside my heart.
I keep them there in shame.
Yet you looked around and saw my art,
And smiled all the same.
They are totally blank,
No color, blue-green or red,
In fact, I am totally empty now,
All my dreams are dead.

from my sky
you pulled me down
now I’m your Angel in disguise
