Ocean eyesA Poem by Vincent Makhathini
Eyes sea salt
My eyes salt The waves somersault my sorrows The spring of summer awakens my waltz The living wake; comfort in ending Bittersweet is the theme written on every wall Blue period and I'm sinking deep Absinthe lingering in my mind Pebbles lazily dragged to and fro inside my crown Impediments tame sea of rage That usurps the florarity of the crown Not of thorns or horns but flowers Things fall apart darker shades ashamed Feeling stained, so white is the substitute Death lurks inside your bowl, like a man camouflaged with a bow and arrow in hand © 2016 Vincent Makhathini |
