Poems
Nov 2015
Beauty
Flower petals strewn about
Stones uniquely filed
You won't find life
Outside of death
Nor beauty within a smile.
Humor exists to break the ice
Trees stripped to match your likeness.
Light found only
In another's eyes
Rest only found in darkness
Perfection is born forging lies
Betrayal born from trusting
Survival is living in denial
Giving is more when you have nothing
Noone seeks a happy beginning
Beauty comes from pain
Eyes beg open to let the light in
Expression found in stains
Stories can't be told, unfinished
Those missed can't stay around
Do not build from your foundation
Lest you've been beaten down
Wisdom drawn in scars
Still poison be it glass or vial
You won't find life
Outside of death
Nor beauty within a smile.
