Short Unscarred Poems

Hs worn hands, they tell a story --
   The furrows where his trusty saw rested
The closed wounds from rusty nails
   The bent fingers from flinty hammer blows
The swollen redness from carrying metal pails

Once soft and smooth, now creased and hard
   His hands may well be old and worn
     ~ Yet his conscience remains unscarred...

Petals fall from the sky
unscarred and woolly
I approach in a hapless way
and stare

I see motion and haze
and mist
swaying in the wind

swaying in the wind

a quisling feeling and
sides of the petals twist

Illuminated before your eyes
specify
what it suggests 
to be in love with your 
mind...

The world is flat
   and that is that

The sun revolves around the earth
   for what it's worth

Tobacco calms shaky nerves
   it's been observed

Don't ever tell your kids "No"
   if you want them unscarred to grow

Don't teach your kid a foreign language
   'cos at school he won't be able to manage
   
People once subscribed to all of the above
   'till 'new improved' theories gave them a shove...

I spent my life in question,
In constant fear, 
Of what lay ahead, 
Of what I couldnt see, 
Of what my imagination told me I might encounter.
I was scared of the future, 
Afraid to live my life to find out, 
Afraid to take a risk, 
Afraid of the consequences.
I am still scared, 
But becuz I got through the broken past,
Im ready to face the unscarred future.
Thank you for standing beside me, 
When I couldnt stand on my own....

I'm fresh, a fresh rose,
With beauty unscathed,
Covered in a skin, soft and smooth, unscarred.
If you mean harm, just let me be,
Touch me not, if you endeavour to crush me.

.

I'm green, a greeny leaf,
With youthful blood and zeal,
Of wishful dreams and daring will.
So if your plan is not to tend me, leave!
Abstain from molesting me, the fairest of leaves.

.

Don't break me, i want to grow,
Don't break me, nurture me instead....
