Afia Gyimah Poems

Brown the colour
An earthy hue
Seen as duller
An evil review
...

Roses are red
Violets are blue
My life is happy
I feel joy too and through
...

You can make so many promises
But they'll always break them
You can love them so much
And they can love you back
...

'Why, why, why? ! '
The girl cried
Her tears spilling down her face
'Why do I have to feel this pain? ! '
...

'Boy, how do you feel with that gun, ?
Do you feel cool? '
'Boy, put the gun down,
Do you feel safe, ?
...

Very bright
Home
Surreal
It feels like a dream
...

It's not love
But it's something else
One word to describe
Love
...

His words were so sweet that she didn't see the blood spilling from his mouth
He spoke so dearly that she didn't notice the sharpness of his teeth
He looked at her with so much adoration that she didn't see the desire behind his gaze
The roses he gave her were so beautiful that she didn't notice the thorns as they cut her fingers
...

Oh, what I'd give for them to stay,
As I saw the petals float away,

My mind racing with intense emotion,
...

'Why are you so aggressive? '
Unknowingly oppressive
Questions
Open my mouth once
...
