reality sinking in- affirmation |
You tasted sweeter thighs outside holy vows I watched you turn love into blue eyes and praying souls I saw boys become men and a woman becoming a strong man It was when you married death and I declared you dead I am the fruit of your seed and the reason why I’m bothered I don’t have to wear your name but I pity my brothers I can’t ignore your existence cause your features feature in physique How do I embrace the love of a father from our resemblance? There are no hints of you in my mother’s gentle spirit Newton’s 3rd law of motion, that’s the conception of my birth From the raging waves of your abusive hands, miracles were born The silenced smiles danced into laughter and our home chanted In the absence of your role, I learnt to model love into its unconditional state Free of judgment and satisfied with truth Which eradicates in order to reinstate From a raped childhood to a nurturing parenthood I Drink from the yesterday’s fear to quench today’s blessings |
