My back is a warzone
Where my lover traces it’s border to my spine.
There are landing spaces for jets
In my vertebral columns
And landmines on my ribs.
My father doesn’t approve of this relationship.
He says that a woman’s body is a sacred tomb
No lover should play with planes on that.
For he will be the martyr in the end
And you the dead imbecile.
He says society will divide your land
And decorate your peaks
Paint you in color they think nice.
Red isn’t only for blood
And remember,
Wars should be over by the.
And you should forget about love.
Your body should be a market place
Not a warzone, he says
A market place where you sell love
Which you are a stranger to.
A market place where, you should give all yourself
And expect nothing in return.
A market place where money have no role to play
It’s only fake promises and dead dreams
To which you will sell your love.
But alas, warzone or a market place.
I know
There will never be peace.
My back is a warzone
Everything else is a graveyard.
Now, rest in peace
