Chorus From A BROKEN Valentine by Detayo7(m): 7:44am On Feb 19, 2017 |
red February is over
and its cunning Trojan gift
wrapped in the colours of blood February is red; red wrappers for boys toys that bring foolish girls joy February is red; reddish skirts stained with ink from the pen between a boy's towers Do not shed red tears Awero he came he saw he conquered, you're broken: broken into an unbreakable stream of tears Saint Valentine has stained our stale senses into seamy scenting sins he came like locusts and lapped her Nile into a stench of redness red is war; It's the colour of a man not 50 shades of grey Awero, do not think the noose a consolation, be like Christ and carry your cross but! do not forget yuppie, how he coloured you red with the lips of Romeo, a trip to Rome and Paradise in Paris how he fanned a volcano into your restless ravine and hung you on the spoils of his war Awero, when your protruded belly gives birth to a bouncing mistake and you sing; Who sat and watched my infant head.... do not forget this chorus; the chorus from a broken Valentine |
