Beleza

Beleza

A beleza é aquela pequena coisa 
não está contida em um único nariz reto, 
um longo cílio 
nem uma montanha azul. 

Algumas pessoas vêem a beleza
em uma perna de carneiro, 
um olho torto e
outros em uma fratura composta.

Esperar que as pessoas 
aceitem sua própria definição é tão absurdo quanto esperar
que toda a humanidade 
use a mesma escova de boca.

Never Had A Chance

Daddy, when will all those tears 
wash away the hate and
where will I go from here?

Daddy, remember when I was a young 
child all those nights I cried because your 
words cut so deep and our lives were torn apart.

Daddy, as I whisper to the heavens and to hell
where will hate lead us from here
but no one really knew what happened to us.

Daddy, you can’t hear me now
but I still feel the pain
you hated the helplessness in my eyes.

Daddy, everywhere I can hear your words
even the Lord can’t cancel this 
no one can ever help me with this.

Daddy you left this world without a word
when will the hate be washed away
we had to say goodbye with no words.

Daddy, we never had a chance
and you can’t say we ever tried!


Premium Member Burnt Tears

Diane Perna
BURNT TEARS


I remember a tormented childhood with
Dad’s words laced with poison and Mom 
tossed acid on my tears by saying no words
to stop it and even joined it.

I remember that even though I was a small 
and frail child that didn’t stop them  
these parents left me to thrash about life
with their painful insults.  

I remember because my spirit was crushed
I wore an unmistakable frown
the wounds of my heart were inimitable too
as was the damage to my character. 

I remember Mom laughing when I swallowed Clorox 
and should’ve warned it wasn’t apple cider  
what I was left with was swallowing burnt tears
and always wondered if anyone could tell. 

I remember my sorrowfulness like 
hot molten metal running over me but
I kept it locked up and bound because 
I only found judgment that silenced me.

I remember pressing on through to another year, 
month, week, day and minute with the blare in my 
head of the brutal belittlement so evermore 
I carry the memory of those burnt tears.
