He thrives upon the bite
appreciates the bark of life
beckons the pain deeper
if only to teach him
it might as well

Filters his thoughts
and dismisses clear water
wrenches his bruises through
too a deeper blue
he takes the colour well

Hand in hand mockery
with acceptance of the false
after all its them not him
he sees the act applauded
and throws his thorns.

learning each day, for you and i, our paths have met, i've already learnt that you are love.

Hi Gemma,  

Another very interesting poem.
I really like your poetry, girl.  


By the way, a really pretty picture and
a very pretty smile.

Heart Hugs to you
