A Hundred Poems - Xxxii

Forgive me  my madness, eccentricities,
        my faults my tenderness  
   that pain --> a thorn inside my brain
and skin so human  that it hurts!
My eyes of marble   so hardly
knew softness; a sight   
     beyond light and that thumping pain 
          within the cargo vessel held;
lifetimes of love and sorrow some of which 
my soul measured    life on hold; 
    to save this spot so much like Gold.

I actually enjoyed this piece, it's like finding something of interest in the static on an old tube tv...just nowhere near as frightening. Anywho, nice work.
