Leopold+Sedar+Senghor

Inspired by Leopold Sedar Senghor's poem, I Want to Say Your Name.

Grey, It is a colour and yet your name, Grey, Mysterious and not the same,

Grey is your name, Like a storm raging, Or a stone man walking, On the dark grey beach,

Grey, Like the colour you seem neutral, But what is going on inside, Your beating heart?

Grey, Like the clothes you wear, Do you wear them as a joke, Or do you just like the colour?

Grey, Your dull eyes, Emotionless yet like the ocean, What has happened in your past?

Grey, I want to know about you, Where did you go, What have you done?

Grey, I want to see you again, Yet they tell me I can never, See your tussled grey hair again.

Grey, Everyone knows your name, But do they really know you? I think not.

Grey, What really happened, When you sailed away that day? Where are you now?

Grey, I wish to see you, So I will wait for your return, Please come back again,

Leaptovin, Your name suggests, That you aren't very normal, Or very happy either,

I've been told, By those who know you, That you watched, Your best friend hang,

There's no need for solitude, Leaptovin, my dear friend, There's no need to hide behind, You're emotionless face mask,
