Poems from The ‘Freedom’ Poet
He sent gentle euphoric waves
Down my spine
As I was laying down
At his side
Playing with my hair
Long into the night
Nothing feels more like home
Than nestling my hand into yours

A heart full of resentment
No longer wanted to try

Could not survive
Daily I could hear the noise from outside
Chanting and calling out
Until one day they came
At first I was afraid
From the crashing and...
Picking fruit and swimming in the trees
Spending time with family
Until the day of depravity
Homeland destroyed and community...
