Beauty and the Beast


I picked a rose
It’s beauty blinded my attention
In the next moment, I scream
I flinch, it was more than a pinch 
It pierced my skin, which had me grin
A reminder of the duality 
Where there is beauty there is pain
A reminder to refrain 
From what could be 
When you don’t see
The most simple act
Whatever is near
It is clear
When the beauty inside 
Does not hide 
There are no lies 
There is no surprise 
The heart is wise

Do you remember


Do you remember when we would… 

make homemade jam
pick mushrooms in a field 
play til the sun went down
say a prayer before a meal
wait a week for the next TV episode
listen to music on the record player
wait for Christmas to receive a present
visit the city to buy something special 
sit together at meal times 
hand wash and wring out our clothes

How times have changed

Old Wounds


like a thorn in my side
i wring out the husks of my heart
to expose my true self
what a feeling of tranquillity
relief and peace that would be
it’s only a thought
