Sweet and Sour
written by: Gabriela Docan
When angels fed us with candies:
words became sweet,
colourful like pansies –
adding to heart another beat.
When demons fed us with starch:
we grew full of ourselves,
our love became a death march –
the heart struggled on dusty shelves.
When angels held our hands:
we flew away in a balloon,
above magic fairy lands –
the heart was in a silky cocoon.
When demons held our hands:
it was the end of love,
we perished in swampy lands –
the heart burnt on a stove.
