it is Christmas

the little boy
happily playing
with his shiny new toys
is oblivious to the
dark cloud that envelopes
his parents

I am sad as I sense
that this might be the
last Christmas
when both parents
watch him play

she is so lost
she is so lost
she cries all day
she lost her soul

orange
is my favourite colour
she said
it reminds me
of sunshine and warmth
and the happy feeling
that everything
will be fine

rain
rain
fun

lemon
oranges
summer

pizza
memories
happiness

it does not matter
what they say

if they say
you are crazy
smile

if they say
you are a dreamer
smile

if they say
you have lost touch with reality
smile

if they say
you cannot write
let your words flow
