Tonight I’m to lie here and think of you In slow motion: I am going to let the memories Warm me up from the inside, While the wind whistle his favorite tune From the nearby window on Lead Vale Road I will stay in touch with my best friend King
The one who brought me my first Right on Magazine: the most memorable one with Michael Jackson embraces the front covers:
That was in 1978, when poets wrote meaningful pieces, With meaning, that touches the process of thinking To boost our poetic frame of mind: this in turns dealt With some of our internal or external reality in events that happens in that era Like his father Leaving, by Ira Sadoff back in 1945 A wonderful piece of write to be remembered
Tonight I’m to lie here and turn off my ****** thoughts In slow motion: I am going to let the memories Of us warm me up from the inside, I remember those raining days which kept us indoors Where a week of rain, felt like a death sentence No hands holding or walking in Queen Park with King No late night window shopping, only lips singing from afar Behind our share bedroom doors:
It was only yesterday, walking in the rain And seeing so much broken umbrellas litter the street in the city And my thoughts turn to him, with our broken umbrellas, we retrieved them and sew them back together Tomorrow I will pray with King that an injustice will become forgivable
P.S: **It would be easy to become a victim of our circumstances and continue feeling sad, scared or angry; or instead, we could choose to deal with injustice humanely and break the chains of negative thoughts and energies, and not let ourselves sink into it.” ― Erin Gruwell, The Freedom Writers Diary
