Soft

Numba 2000 (Lusaka)

Haiku
Soft lips
Gentle eyes
A warm embrace only your arms can create
Cradle my ills, whisper sweet little nothings to my demons ,
Sing a lullaby strong yet sweet enough to lure my soul to sleep

I am a whirlwind of unspoken words
Of unsaid stories
I am a torrent of every tear I wasn't brave enough to shed, I am literally bursting at the seams

Soft lips
Gentle eyes
You are a safe place to hide a poem
