#FloetryByJulietKego: A Breakfast of Poems

I woke up today
with a sweet-tangy taste
of your praise-poetry
on my tongue

For breakfast, I served
woven words, crunchy
like a waffle basket
with drops of honeyed
syrup soaked in

I inhaled and released
wispy fragrances
of sweaty spent stories
that escaped our bodies
I am woke in you

(C) Juliet ‘Kego

#FloetryByJulietKego: Who are you walking with?

Who are you walking with?

Walk with someone whose memory

brings a shy smile to your lips (when they’re away)

One who makes you walk into a room

like you have an invisible crown on your head

who centres your gypsy spirit

who soothes your soul in any storm

one who makes you matter.

__________

Walk with one who celebrates you
who creates a waterfall deep in your being
(during a drought)

who makes you dance
even when an orchestra stops playing

who riles you yet makes forgiving so easy

be with the one who kisses you

with the sun’s golden rays

till you disappear into time

__________

Who holds your hands in a crowd

who heals your torn & worn out heart

be with the one who sees you without the lie

of a deformed world

one who gives you a sacred space

to be human, to stumble & rise

allows you room to embrace & gain mastery

over your shadows and bask in your light
