Malcolm Fabiyi Will You Share My Tears? Sorrow came down my
chimney Packaged in a gift box,
that was Ribboned with a red sash Dripping still with blood You might not hear me cry For laughter drowns my
voice You might not see the
tears fall For the heat of the mirth
in this season Dries them off my cheeks Before they fall to earth Where bells chimed for
others They tolled for me So, I cannot send you
flowers Or share a sumptuous meal But dear friend, tell me
this: Will you share with me, my
tears? Malcolm Fabiyi won the Sentinel Poetry Bar Challenge for December
2005 on the theme of “Grieving in the season of goodwill”. The
December Challenge was dedicated to Akiko Taylor, a Sentinel Poet and
two-time winner of the Sentinel Poetry Bar writing challenge. |
