Wisdom Of A Child

Wisdom of a child–

We do not start out hateful

This we have been taught.

Corrupted by narrow minds

Desiring to suppress.

To what end is this,

But to feed the frail ego

–A disgusting beast!

With claws and fangs it draws blood

Weaving a path called ruin.

Glass So Delicate Easily Breaks (Sonnet)

Glass so delicate easily breaks

Throwing, dropping–it matters not

A million shards will be its fate

Not unlike the tender heart

.

When handled coarsely it slowly bleeds

Crimson tears that may never heal

A gentle touch is what it needs

Embraced by passionate lovers feel

.

Absent the heart will surely shred

Perhaps forever left in ruin

All hope for love is left for dead

What remains of the heart are strewn

.

That which is fragile must be treated with care or damage permanent may be done

For the passion of lovers is something they share on their journey to meld into one

.

Beautiful Flower – A Tanka

Beautiful flower

How delicate your petals

Under soft caress

Anr adoring world awaits

To love you as I have done

A gentle caress

Awakens me from slumber

Like an angels touch

Sent down from Heaven above

To salvage this tortured soul
