Poem

Poetry

Be at your table, youngsters, finish that banquet of meals

Lord may have my finishes on this oak table

Tulips, dilemma, what would it be without a clear sight of remorse 

Trauma be yesterday’s

Moral, love can split hearts in a 

Soulful and sorrow-full patina 

Good night, your youthful face got pulled up

On the wagons

Dreadful in this afternoon I dine

Alone at the restaurant 

Willed and wilted like a bouquet of suns 

Drooping towards the west 

Nothing to disclose 

Beyond this jails, flowers are what we are

Last weeks, joy to be honoured with

Your eyes, blue and green in a picture frame.
