Poems For The Needy. by gpam16(m): 8:11pm On Dec 13, 2014 |
Title: I, VINCENT. I, Vincent, I'm that child of cloudy origins, You see me daily, Yes! The lad with desert skin, Messenger of harmattan. You're surprised I have a name. I exist, But my anonymity eclipses me, I exist, Yet your footmat gets more review. You stepped on my toe, Just yesterday, Without apologies, I tried to say I forgive you, But you were too busy with your cellular. Like a river, My mouth watered today, It watered as I watched you complain about your meal, ''It has no salt'' you said. Hmm! Who cares for salt? I have no tatse buds, I have only hunger. Toss me those clothes, Ok! Toss those rags, They're still potent, These bits I wear leave me more nude than if I was naked, Let me those rags to hoard against this cold. ''What cold?'' you ask, The cold that comes with night, Hand-in-hand like lovers. The night is my bed and blanket, Mosquitoes buzz my lullaby, Only the Stars tell me who I am. I envy what you lament about, What luxury your waste is to me, I, child of night, I, alien to my self, I, Vincent. By Gamaliel Choji Pam(gpam16) 1 Like 1 Share |
