GK Talabi Poems

I can't get it into my head
That I need to get out of bed
I can't shake this feeling of gloom
As I lay in darkness in my bedroom
...

Today will make it just two years
Still I can't hold back my tears
When I remember that fateful day
Which your life was taken away
...

I am a woman
A free woman
And I don't see the point
What-so-ever
...

My doctor warns
Tobacco is dangerous to my health
He says
It contains Carbon Monoxide
...

Via WhatsApp is how I heard
In disbelief I re-read every single word
"This certainly can't be true" I thought,
Susan Lawson would do nothing of the sort,
...

His jokes were not funny
But because I sat in front row,
I laughed out loud.
His magic tricks weren't amusing,
...

In the Castle de Sao Jorge, you reside
On a four-squared pedestal outside
A sculpting feat
A woman immortalized in concrete
...

We courted for so many a year
Till we became a compatible pair
I introduced him to my family
And they received him happily
...

I remember the day we met
That day I certainly won't forget
It was at the famous Hyde Park
Midnight had fallen and everywhere was dark
...

In the Garden of Eden we were created
we never courted or dated
Eve you were my wife from the very start
Loving you with all my heart
...
