Another Portrait of Me

I'm not restless
but I'm not that light ...
 I live beyond me,
and you notice ...
I live off limits
and I recognize myself well ...
I have beauty of
unmistakable madness
and the strange ugliness
of wonder ...
Outside I'm a beast
encrypted, for
inside I'm pure
fissure ...
I'm an intermediary
of words and conciliator
of passions ...
I'm strong as a giant
when I love, but I am
fragile as a fish
on the hook when
I'm alone,   and without affection ...!

Richard Lamoureux February 17, 2021 at 6:43 AM I think you expressed this so well Poet. We are indeed not just one thing. We are contradictions of immense complexity and extraordinary beauty. All we need is for someone to look beyond the veneer. Alkas Poetry February 17, 2021 at 2:10 PM Thank you for commenting dear poer, And we must show Beyond the veneer too... salute alkas
