Francisca Darko Poems

The blades, they cut, rip at her soles
The blackened shards, put there by your hand, maybe her own
But she'll smile, it's already a lesson learnt- she dances alone,
Upon your jewelled throne, you sit and condone
...

The table was set with the sweets and the trinkets
The one they came to meet was laid in a blanket
Of all their kisses and the hugs
And all their pinches and the tugs
...

When I pray,
I pray for the last dropp of snow
For the cute little button on the young doe's nose
For the last drip of chocolate on the mixing spoon
...

I write on my page
Embedded they sink
Describing an image
With nothing but ink
...

The heavens open
And the rain errupts
The sky has spoken
There's no way to interrupt
...

If you give me a box
Wrapped in satin
A key for it's lock
And a heart shaped curtain
...

Wouldn't it be nice to fly?
I'd stretch out my arms
Elongate my palms
Watch the feathers grow
...

She will do up her hair
It will shimmer in a bonnet
Polish those cheeks, fair
She'll reread his dashing sonnet
...

Fragrance fills the air as the early morning greets sunshine with as heart filled smile.
Through the breeze of the cold hurl of winter, he stares unseen, a shadow among our mist.
He smirks cunningly at you with darting blue glasses of pearl
But I see
...

The clarifications of my heart
A blister of the heavenly thwart
That engraved a mark of confusion
A scene of my problem in a caption
...
