Black Gem (poem)

2014 August 28, 2014

The black so black, the white so bright. Two thin eyes silently, solemnly staring. The scars deepen year after year, are bloodless and painless. A long slit of hair forever escaping, enchanting, entrusting someday to live out the dark black of life. There in sight, a nose, cut with no hope for smell of sweet slim sides of flowers. It’s sad mouth licking , looking, but not finding a morsel to swallow.

Turned around to see it bright, beautiful white within. Something left long ago, but forgotten only to see an ugly, fearful face.
