Davy Lungu Poems

the tale of our great fall
insecurity was the director
fear wrote the script that left my strength in awe
my heart believed what it read and convinced my character
...

I am not cut from a different cloth,
My fabric is just starting to look quite distinct,
Who knew wear and tear would increase its worth,
Who knew it would recover from blood and sweat stained ink,
...

Traumatized birds of ours, we promised to protect them,
We promised freedom but all we offered was a fancy cage,
Figured we needed a collection just so that we could rate them,
So they went from our one and only to one in a million,
...

These freight trains of mine,
went off the rails in my mind,
walked my addictions to land mines,
overblown prices for me to mind,
...

Some moments we turn to joyless eternity,
when life gives us answers but we won't accept its clarity,
A spark can light up your sky for the night like fireworks,
Or burn down your whole life as you learn how fire works.
...

In silence i walk next to the girl of my dreams
in the space between us awkward just screams
am more than present
what a conundrum do i say hi to her resent
...
