THREE POEMS BY UMMILO

ANXIETY

It came like a wave of dust

Blocking the footprint of happiness

Leaving me in a desert of pain

Worried that darkness will consume

My soul to neverland

The home of no return               

BED OF SORROW

So let me lay in my bed of sorrow

For my fragile soul

Refuses to embrace the loneliness in my heart

Let me sing to voices of the mountain

As I dance to the colors of the wind

Perhaps my peace lays beneath the eyes

So let me lay in bed of roses

A bed filled with thorns of pain

MY FINAL APPEAL

Whisper those soft loving words

As you lay me down

While you sail my ship into the river of life

Weep not my absence

For my domicile awaits my presence

Supplicate for my peace

For this is my final appeal

As heaven takes it’s awaited soul

While the ears embrace condolences
