THE COLOUR OF LOVE
THE COLOUR OF LOVE
He drifted off to sea many months ago
Standing on the shores of a lonely beach
My heart poured out anguish, desire, and regret
The loudness of my heart powered his tiny vessel
Watching him disappear across the horizon
A chill mist blew towards me that made me shiver
The customary kiss goodbye was forgotten today
In despair, I turn my back towards the ocean and pray
Upon my shoulder was a tap, my love, you forgot the kiss.
Fishing will be late, but the color of love once more triumphs
Kenvil Atkins, Poet / Caribbean poetry.
