Poems
Dec 2012
The Suitcase
I buried a suitcase in the sand,
It's contents to remain unknown.
Although I wish to understand
These are best if left alone:
The interactions of two
Within a circle of three,
The meaning of You
Of I and of Me.
The silence thatβs found
At the sunβs first breath,
A man that has drowned
Yet experienced no death.
The alignment of power
On painted lips,
The deadliest flower-
A rose with a whip.
The interstice between
Ribs and their cages,
Guardians without wings
And the gentlest rages.
Where land touches sea-
A transient mirror,
It seemed fitting for me
To bury it here.
