he’s moving
away
from his castle
free to go on
with his
life

shuts the door
on his children
who pull
on his tassels
then
sped away
from his
wife

next week
at his daughters
recital
friends and
neighbors
will all
be alarmed
but,
he’ll act
like he’s been
recycled
by the younger
smile
on his arm

and forgiveness
is a bast*rd
karma
a b*tch
of her own
one you
control
the other
you grow
in the fields
of the life
that you
farm

kate
she is a
beauty
with the finest
porcelain skin
if you look closely
you’ll see
the cracks
that won’t bleed
but, wonder
if they’ll
ever
mend

tomorrow
is the recital
in her first
public light
she’ll keep
her head
high
even
when they
walk by
and to show them
she’s doing
alright,

she’ll smile
as if
she’s never been
broken
laugh
like a stranger
to pain
keep any
and all things
hidden
in the
umbrella
she carries
for rain

forgiveness is
her master
karma an
unseen
foe
one she
will learn
on the others
return
as time
moves her
along

it’s not fair
her new found
position
but,
you’ll never
catch her
complain
he gets
to play
weekend
sunshine
while she
gets to
deal with
the rain…

still, she
smiles
as if
she’s never
been
broken
and laughs
like
a stranger
to pain

smiles
as if
she’s never
been
broken
and laughs
like
a stranger
to pain

Kiss's

Brilliant.

An excellent write my friend. Sometimes I wish that veil hadn't been removed, but we must all learn to walk.

Wow!! Did I get to live this...

He got to play weekend sunshine and I got all the rain.

Toooo close to home. Great write kev

S.

a life
that
she
once
belonged to
is gone
and
never
the same

she’ll
smile
only
by
knowing
that
she can
outlive
the pain

inside
a shell
where
a woman
once
stood
wondering
how
she
got
to this
place

but
a woman
of
hope
and
belief
in the
good
soften
the
sting
of the
rain

so she'll
smile
as if
she’s never
been
broken
and laugh
like
a stranger
to pain

not
because
she
believes
it
at first
she
just
wants
to feel
normal
again ...
