For Seb(ald), because she loves this poem so much :)
In fragile colours you appear to me
Suave pastel strokes that are so slowly
but tenderly washed away from my memory
In gentle lullabies you caress my ears
Warm mumbling in your language
I never was able to master
I want your arms to hold me one more time
Hear your soft smiling whispers
of comfort while you sing for me
Here are the lines we once drew in the sand
There the road of pebbles we created
Our children's voices brutally silenced
At night I look out at the yawning sun
As she draws blood orange hues
And know one day I'll join you
Time deletes you second by word by line
But it can never erase you from my heart
For you are etched in the very core of me
