Marie Helene Diop Poems

Gloomy grey blankets
cover vacant land.
Deathlike silence devours vulnerable world.
...

Painful, dreadful memories
Replay in lost mind
Drowning in sea of confusion
...

Glistening delicate snow
Falls upon a street
Festive music playing throughout
None are melancholy, but all upbeat
...

A small boy sits sorrowfully
As he watches his mother die
Life is drained from her loving face
As she loses the battle between life and death
...
