Scars and Blood

Scars and Blood

That’s what we are:

Scars and Blood.

Time makes the scars,

Experience draws the blood.

Scars and Blood 

Scars and Blood

That’s what we’re made of

Scars and Blood

Nails and Bones

Nails and Bones

That’s what we break:

Nails and Bones.

Nails do the scratching

Bones do the tapping.

Nails and Bones

Nails and Bones

That’s what we’re made of:

Nails and Bones

Tongues and Eyes

Tongues and Eyes

That’s we use:

Tongues and Eyes

Sharp are the Tongues

Blind are the Eyes

Tongues and Eyes

Tongues and Eyes

That’s what we use:

Tongues and Eyes.

Teeth and Hair

Teeth and Hair

That’s how we judge:

Teeth and Hair.

Teeth white as white

Hair bright as bright.

Teeth and Hair

Teeth and Hair

That’s what we’re made of:

Teeth and Hair.

Gut and Ears

Guts and Ears

That’s how we hear:

Guts and Ears.

Guts are the wise ones

Ears are the dull ones

Guts and Ears

Guts and Ears

That’s how we hear:

Guts and Ears.

Tears and Fear

Tears and Fear

We need to lose our

Tears and Fears

Tears do the excusing

Fears do the killing.

Tears and Fears

Tears and Fears

We must lose our

Tears and Fears.

Apples

A musician am I,

A player with words

Some say it’s the poet

But I put them all to shame.

I go down the dirt road

To see what I can find:

A vender selling apples

A not too common sight.

I stepped to a basket

And grabbed one for a bite

I know the sweeter insides

As it is my favorite part

But without the bitter skin

The sweetness has no more appeal.

I take a seat

To watch the afternoon

Pass me by.

Before long I nodded off

And I dream I did comprise.

I gazed upon an apple

Which landed in my lap.

Its mother, I knew not where she stood

All I know is her baby

Fell from the sky.

The smooth skin I knew so well,

Though yet easily broken

To press it in any place leaves a bruise.

Not unlike a heart

I thought as

 I rolled the fruit

Between my hands.

Like a heart, that’s troubled love

Did press until a mark,

Was all that was left behind.

The bruise is not immediate

Show the mark, but only

To be found by gentle touch.

The wounds are sensitive

And if not remedied

Shall poison all the rest.

With many shaped and tones

It has many personalities.

The small blackened spots are old injuries.

They are tough and hard

They show experience and past.

It is beneath the dark surface

The sweetest juice is found.
