Poetry by Jennifer Olston

What am I? A kiss on your lips A star in the sky What am I? Your friend, your lover The mother of your child What am I? I am your romantic bliss A speck in the sky What am I? I am the light that shines like the sun In your miserable life What am I? The answers on demand Loving you time after time What am I? A kiss on your lips A star in the sky This poem was written upon listening to Sonic Koco's song As Still  As the Night.

  When I woke this morning The sun smiled at me What I did not know My life would be cut short through a hateful deed   Reporting as a soldier should I went out and about Keeping honor and serving my country Living life and being a good scout   In the streets of   London Life seemed to be good Until I encountered my attackers And all hell broke loose   Hate flowed from my attackers As blood flowed out of my body Through all the pain and agony My body succumbed to death Now that I am gone My life was once full of promise Once a soldier, a human being, a man I depart from loved ones with sadness and homage Dear  Me
