Sandra Martyres Poems

Every day after you walked out on me
I hoped and prayed that I could flee
Flee from the city I shared with you
Flee from everything that reminded me
...

You will my friend recall
The day you made me fall
O what a terrible fall it was
When I realised the cause
...

Why did you do this to Aryan and to me
Just yesterday we were one happy family
Then almost suddenly
God decided that you had leave us and flee
...

Each time I try to show you
A better way to do
Something or
To deal with
...

Beware all you carnivores
Flu is adding to your sorrows
We first heard of Foot and Mouth disease
The one that finished sheep with ease
...

Dad, we watched you wither away
All of eighty kilos by night and day
The one and only saving grace,
Was your ever smiling face.
...

Being all of a twitter
I went about tweeting
And was surprised
With all that I found
...

Dressed in tattered clothes
And an old rain coat
Two sizes too big for him
The little boy gazed longingly
...

She watched him from the shadows
Too shy to say 'hi' she was still suffering
From teenage gawkiness and feared
He would not return her greeting
...
