Khemmie Ray Poems

Wet dews on green vegetation
Greet my tender feet
With the awakening of dawn
The cloud cast aside its dark cloak
...

Under the shadows of darkness
We take ghostly steps
Scrambling and struggling
For partitions on dumping grounds
...

Yesterday,
We said goodnight with smiles
Making the moon our witness
...

So,
Where did it all go?
The sleepless nights
because of our endless chats,
...

Your first impression was
The calmness of your person and
The aura you exude
That only pulls everything
...

The words of elders
Like soothing balms
Poured on sore wounds
Healing our mistakes
...

Remember us
Even if we are too weak a link
To be remembered
We take no pleasure in
...

Black life matters" we chant
Just when the injustice
Wears a different skin color
What matters, when our own
...

I died tonight
For holding a placard
Expressing my hopes
For a better future,
...
