"Love on Sloppy Grounds"
" Love on Sloppy grounds" Distant mother, your hand Walked me down lonely paths To pick seeds of sorrow Sown in the days love was at its peak of excitement One seed smelt like promises that failed The other like passion on the bed of deceit You kept quiet while, I, an indigent child Picked pain like nuggets on a sloppy valley Every grasp injected me with your own malady Until I began to walk silently like you We not holding hands again Walking differently on similar paths silently. Until it was time to embrace the fate Your shrill voice broke into our cherished silence, "Silence is an immortal response to all forms of pain" I swallowed something bitter and walked head on.
