A Reason

Wrinkled edges in my youth Flesh, proximal to the bones "solarised" Melanin, kindred to burnt sacrifice Sketched bruises, signs of storms weathered The "hour glass", a testimony of lemons through sands Stitches in pattens Indelible stamps of artistry A picturesque of terror subjected testament to the other side of the "honey pot " Spirit in eternal warfare Reality under scrutiny Belief, far fetched Embodiment of Confusion Why Smile?, Push through?, Believe?, or Love? ................ HE, within me, a reason for the reason.
