Colour of Water

The word drifts away
Scars in my island
Alone in a sea
Shipwreck to confide in
Where my own undulation
Drowns out my hope
I’m running from fire
But smoke leads me home

Variable monsters
Imagined atrocities
Chaos grows beasties

Stars on the sky
Sent up early by thunder
Precocity startled
Too unlearned for wonder
Reaching past daylight
With premature resilience
The sun and the moon
Six feet down show them brilliance

Variable monsters
Imagined atrocities
Chaos grows bеasties
Maybe it’s only us
We wеre watching our feet
Fear no more than a dream
Chaos grows beasties

Innocence masked by a blood poisoned palette
Ignorance sinless a guise for a fallacy
Heartless ambition
Constantly falters
Till the lord of the flies drains the colour from water

Children past bedtime
The playground gone dark
Singing and shouting
The playground gone dark
