"You misrepresent me

In this piece


I don't see myself here"
You bare your teeth
At the thought
Of a crack
My wings
Don't match
But today
I shimmer
Inspired by my makeup today
Time rolls like a stream
Carving out life’s secret ways
Dawn whispers softly,
Moments heal our weary hearts
Time enfolds us in new light.
Tanka
Leafy boughs
Cradle the sol
Into calm repose
Inspired by a photograph
Parents always tell their daughters:
"Don't stay late, it's not safe."

Can't parents tell their sons:
"Don't disrespect, do not ****.
They too are human beings,
just like you are."
They still carry love,
from lives once lived,
walking paths with
belief in destiny.

Their love so surreal,
kissed by every wound.

She cloaked in petals,
with a bleeding heart.

Just as tree waits
for spring to bloom,
he waits for her,
to heal him.
'Love is immortal'
An eternal love between her and her past lover, waiting to entwine again.
