Poem
Sweet Soul Sister 'Pon summer's day in a sunny city in America native-born is she, sweet sister of mine Soulful big eyes so kind An angelic face and cheeks of fuchsia Rose the name should’ve given They’d turn red when we played chase Laughing aloud as we ran about our place, our home Radiance, she owned, a climbing hybrid Innocence and a joyful smile She was a stunning flower, unassuming blooming in all her glory The beautiful child that I once knew This I kept inside all the while To some who grow up in a hurry A life took that turn tout de suite Sociopathic metamorphosing When the thorns grew prickly, protecting itself The crimson rose if plucked shall bleed On a journey cataclysmic, tabula rasa A seed, ill-natured unforeseen Nature vs nurture which one should I believe? Chilling vibrations keep on and on, running down my spine I try forgetting you, as I pray for a way Your unholy decline became the wind of change Whilst an open path gifted unexpectedly We spoke of the recent death of our father As we caught up, an abrupt feeling left me deflecting my life; a total mockery Transcending joy and pain Time heals they say that grief will lessen It’s such a shame I’ve chosen to hold aloof Yet time won’t let me rest Although my heart bellows it’s best My strength for this bereavement diminishing, what’s left of you a catacomb, a shrine buried in my subconscious I try to put at ease these cries for help Or are the cries Jesus telling me There is no real solution You are one of a kind, an exception You must want Jesus too Until then, with open arms I will always be here for you May you be safe, free from harm Remember me, sweet soul sister of mine
