Just scribbles

Life is fleeting

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

And in the warm evenings

Sorrows ignited the self

And ignited the hot fire

And sorrows harmed relationships

So what do we do to expel the sighs from ourselves

And move forward waiting for miracles?

So what do we do to straighten our lives

And leave us with good news?

Everyone in my house

They are now dead in front of me

So when did the taa open

When the calamities increased

And when did it close when

The paths of life separated us?

So do I wonder if I will survive

From the volcanoes that ignite the self?

And will it end inside me

Will the tragedy end

And my heart beats with happiness until death

Can I survive

From your fragments that filled the squares?

And does my sadness bind my heart

So that I may live on those memories?

In these evenings my love is renewed

For you, my homeland, so that I may repeat the meetings

Will you carry me in your palaces

And fly with me to the heights of the heavens?

Tell me, my country

Don't let the tears distract me

For if I cry

All the screaming echoes

And I lose my voice

To return to mere scribbles
