I Will Not Wake Up

Image
I will not wake up in the morning I shall not rise with the smiling sun My bed shall remain dark till I die in this sleep I will not wake up to find you gone I shall not hear our neighbors gossip How you ran away wearing no shoes Riding our only horse I will not wake up, my love

The Rain and My Other Cheek

Image
This morning I woke up To the clatter of rain fingers on my roof As the morning gets slowly darker The arms of rainfall stealthily dip Through my open windows To pat me on my right cheek, awoke I turned the other cheek, and Welcomed the cool atlantic breeze That brought the rains and The sour-sweet petrichor My neighbours scurried to close their windows But I simply turned again the other cheek.
