There was need
electric blue need
for the weakness
~a kind of harsh light

Shone truer
than pale soothing yellow
there was soft focus
where naked eye needed vision

A filtered view
decieving view
of holy respect waning
~the fall of thorns

My God
fallen beside
the core of apple

The sneer of blame
upon womans shoulder
we shall always be carrier
for
the downfall
for all
could never be the fault of a man
~oh no

There is no pride
in hearing myself say
your name
in perfect timed synchronicity
as if one word
~disrespect~

I've heard that word over and over so many times I could scream...and it's always said by a man

there was soft focus
where naked eye needed vision
your pen flows with a magic touch , something fragile , a high praise to you gem
