Notes About The Poem

VOICE: Ahmad Razvi

Listen to poem:

Unicorn

A poem written for my friend Anna

You, special magical, you!
Did you just see my tears of pain,
How I in vain
tried to?
I want to...
I sit here hiding, in the rain.

No discrimination between
that one moist or the other.
Don't smother.
Where've you been?
You are so warm, I've never seen
You before, are you my mother?

I rest my wounds on that cool horn,
Can you please cure me?
I'm born,
Forlorn...
Will you look at me and see?
Make me whole, I'm so torn...

You are my legs, my life, my all.
A strong back to replace mine,
Please be my spine.
If I fall,
Don't call,
Nudge gently, so I will be fine.

We wander off to distant land.
You carry me, I you.
You too.
With caring hand,
Caress your manes, use magic sand.
Styx and Acheron we'll plough through!

Chris Green January 27, 2017 at 5:56 AM A beautiful poem for whom seems to be a wonderful and caring friend. This was really nice Darren. It felt magical but then friendship is always magical in my book. Darren White January 27, 2017 at 6:07 AM She is, she is simply wonderful and I love her much :) It's a magical poem and there are little things in it only she will understand. But that's the thing with poetry: with a bit of luck you write something magical that appeals to everyone. Thanks Chris :)
