Laura Poem by Bron Dayvid

Laura



Her innocence was penetrated
With a false since of comfort
He made her smile
He made her laugh
Her beauty was naïve
Never before grazed
Until he passed

So vivid was her mind
So pure was her soul
But even a slight of love can blind
This her young heart did not know

And when he left her he left her open
For all evils to enter
She now disdained him
And his sinner

Her eyes were not the right shade
Her hair didn't look the right way
He so arrogantly implied
And when he walked out of her life
Her innocence died

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is the first poem of a series that I am contemplating. The entire series is based on the life of El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz formerly known as Malcolm X. I was greatly moved and inspired after reading his autobiography as told by Alex Haley. In creating the series I wanted to bring to life individual stories from Malcolm's life and give them a deeper analysis through my own creative writing and interpretation. This poem is based on Malcolm's relationship with Laura; and in writing it I wanted to tell her story of heartache.
