Poems
Nov 2017
Pressed
Outwitting,
out-writing
the days
defeats.
Snatching
victory
from the
inkwells
of the
mind.
Spelling
out
half-truths
and lies
in equal
measure.
The eye
of the
beholder
is blind.
Every other
word is
a treasure.
Not gold
or silver,
but thoughts
fraught with
flailing,
failings,
soaring
in spite
of
broken
wings.
Sailing
past lonely
hearts and
thoughts
of loved
ones left
behind.
Smeared
pen strokes,
notebooks,
spines bent
full of sins
or loves
confessed
obsessed,
depressed.
We are,
all of us,
roses,
between pages
pressed.
