Of Cigarettes and Cyclones, Lights and Lego Houses

They say that once you grow up
You should write about things
That concern the realities of adulthood
You should write about
Love and lust
Trust and tornadoes
Cigarettes and cyclones
Walls and wine
Solitude and scars.
Your poetry should mirror the world around you
And talk about
Politics and pain
Refugees and rights
Humans and homes
Violence and victories
Wars and wisdom.
But tonight,
I'll write about
Magic and mysteries
Candies and colours
Unicorns and umbrellas
Paper boats and pencils
Apples and adventures
Lights and Lego houses.

Do you remember what they were?
I will write so that you remember
I will write so that you do not forget.
