Malpils

Edthepoet



Water, wake me up 
It was the water 
That washed her skin.

Gravel stand me up 
It was the gravel 
That grazed her shins.

For now I see 
It's the gold in the leaves 
It's the green in the tree tops 
That stroke the sky's feet.

These are the colours,
The colours that we need 
To paint a life complete.

Mother, stands so proud
It was the mother 
She built her heart.

Father, smiles so loud 
It was the father 
Who made her laugh.

For now I see 
It's the blue in the sea 
It's the clear in her tear drops 
That meet smiling cheeks.

These are the colours 
The colours that we need 
To paint a life complete

  • Comment from author about the poem: After being together for 2 years we finally saved enough money to fly over to Latvia, where I met her entire family and friends, upon waking the next morning, after a night of vodka fuelled celebrations, seeing her sleeping next to me in the bedroom she had called home for the first 22 years of her life, I realised that I was actually meeting her true self for the very first time. We shared another 2 years together, however as written in my poem "River of Dreams" sometimes love isn't enough.
