REQUIEM

 I wrote a song for you my dear,

I hummed the tune close to your ear,

I had forgotten that you were not here.

It is for our night, when I’ll be yours.

The vows and kisses that will unite us.

I saw you dance when I become yours.

I need no church,

I need no bridesmaids.

I need no best men,

Nor the flowers.

I waited each day to pass,

To see you clamour in glee.

I waited each day to pass,

For the wedding day to be.

You arrived at last,  all in black

I wondered how handsome it must be.

Indeed, it was handsome enough,

But what about the clamour in glee?

I saw a box, and quailed towards

I saw flowers, rim round  

I saw your men in their best way.

I saw the maids going away.

I shall sing the song for you my dear,

After all, it is our wedding day.

To unite us in all love and vows

Be it a Requiem in May.

A SCARLET SCAR

Red is scarlet

Colour of love, I thought.

Red is scar

Colour of blood.

Blue is serene

Colour of sky, I thought.

Blue is pain

Colour of clotted blood.

Stars at night

Harmony and twinkling, I thought.

Stars are symbols

To tell me you are drunk.

You held me tight

Passion in love, I thought

Just that the grip was

Around my  neck at last.
