Premium Member Too Much

Too much health
     injures,
Too much wealth
     corrupts,
Too much truth
     confuses,
But too much beauty
     is beautiful.


Injured Pride

White Cadillac waiting for her. Black night shadows hide crimson lips. Rude passerby tosses a coin. It injures more than just her arm. Someone's daughter of meager means.

Premium Member Liebesleid

LIEBESLEID

Love’s sorrow
Not like a dagger thrust
Blood will congeal
The cut will heal

A loss of love    though?
Injures the very soul
Mortal mind may forget
Liebesleid eternally says    “not yet”

Bitten Bosom

The closest arm strikes;
It injures with desolation
Instead of solacing:
Broken consolation. 

The treasured lip bites;
It tears to desecration
Instead of kissing:
Shattered affection. 

The chosen heart burns;
It sears to extermination 
Instead of embracing:
Loveless affectation.

Premium Member Horror of War Injures Us

Bombed out of our comfort but the children do not see
Keep it from our sweet babies, so they will be on track.
Despondent, bereft, discouraged, my husband and me.
Wisdom prevents us from burdening our child’s back.
Horror of war injures us, the simple every day masses.
Accepted by whom? The untouchable richest of classes.

Built Up

I sweep up the dirt but it is still there.
Soon the handle to the broom breaks.
What am I supposed to do?

I decided to leave it there.

Days and days the dirt gets bigger and bigger.
Till it injures my Health.

Why didn’t I stop  it before hand when I had the chance?

I try to use the broom again but it keeps breaking and breaking.

Then I  finally allow myself to get help.
I allow my hands to help me out.

I guess we all need a helping hand.
When things become BUILT UP.
