Beauty Marks Not Scars

varied versions of heartache harken all my sorrow to yield peak prose deep pain breaks me in bits of beautiful woe builds creativity sad the gold gilding art Emotional easy is fine harmony pleasing my surface depths aloof to growth. While smooth feelings are often blurred normalcy, my heartache’s pliable pain seeks lifelong troth. green blueish bruises teach lessons to the body streaming salty tears adorn lessons to spirit pain makes beauty marks not scars ...

I just saw these comments from you and I'm touched. How I miss talking to you - its all on me, Jannie. Found another comment from you on a poem about a silent fight and laughed aloud at what you wrote: "Hi girl. Men feel cornered when they have to talk. Just ask him about the engine parts. That much is explainable. Hee hee." Jannie, I needed that laugh! Miss you I am - CayCay

Nicely written, CayCay. I suppose the hardships of life make us better people and make for some good poetry but I think I've written too many of these lately, Debbie asked if I was trying to tell her something. Perhaps I need to write more love poems. John
