I took a break from poetry
My brain became flooded with words
I nearly drowned
Swimming with fishes and sharks
In a river of silence
Melodies in my head were loud
I just needed to breathe
Air out this room of drawings pictures and ideas
By down scribbling a few metaphors


A dark place total blackout everything felt
Darkness travelling at light speed
Empathetically thinking about black lives
Factually disregarding skin colour but every life matters
Writing about it makes me more sadder


Darkness is a word needing light to be seen
Light is nearby and colour makes it beautiful
Hope is circling your sky with clouds brother
The stars are making your moon bright sister
And red is our theme babe


I missed writing because I see my heart in these sequels
