Rose’s Tears
From her eyes,
A raging inferno covers my eyes
That blanket of fire rendering me blind
Through your words you pierce my heart
Leaving it to bleed alone in the dark
The merciless caress of your laugh
Shuns me away, alone and afar

The Prophet, Khalil Gibran
“When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.”
Tapestry of Time
Hands of gauze:
Dug deep with dirt from crossroads
Fragmented joints, aching and throbbing
Are smothered by sunlight;
Fleeting blanket of the day
