PETALS

As we stared
At the speckless sky
Lying in the hands of the earth,
You told me
Stories of life
Cruel,
Heartless,
Unforgiving
Love.....
The tone of your voice
As you whispered that word
Made my hear feel tight.
Stories of lost loves,
New one's found
And lost again.
You told me they turned you into
A flowers petal's
...Love me, love me not, love me?
I knew you
Were teaching me about
How other's treated you
But I wonder if you were just
Letting me know how to treat you
And love you
Without sheding petal's.

CAST-IRON SOUL

In my armor
My cast iron soul
I am safe.

No stone, no violence
No ill will can enter.

It's frost bitten
Black-rust colored coat
Keeps me from me.

It was once for protection
Of pride and shame.

Now it fits to tight
I cannot get out
Nothing can.

J.Youngbluth 1994

Love

Love is not like
A butterfly
Nor the tiny rose
In the snow.

But like the stinger
Of a bee
Who's sting still hurts
Even after the bee is gone.

A reminder of
It's presence,
Hoping and praying
For the pain to cease,
But it never does.
