Poem: Save me

Save me the joy you experience
When you live the life aside of mine
Save me the calls of experiences 
When you on the life's alter.

Save me the colour Red
For it has never been kind
Save me the moments of joy
For I have never had mine

Save me
Save me the beauty of sunrise
For I have witnessed trauma in my eyes
Save me the smell of coffee
For I had only smelled the crafts of a coffin

Save me 
Save me
Save me from my life
For it has seen many nights
Of kids who die with scars

Save me the night full of stars
And not the dice of cards
For life had played me
Far too long
Save me
Save me from this dark hole
For I still lust the love of Home 

[Israel Xaba:  7 March 2024]
