custom discomfort,
but it FITS...it looks GOOD.
it sits right there,
overlooking what's understood.

Bastard burnt by broken brain,
bent backwards by Beauty's Bane.
Beauty's Mark brought back

After Laughter.

Hello. I read this seven times. I know poetry can mean many things to many people. Where one might see peonies in description of a field of colour, another might see a mass grave cover... in this piece you have shared, (While I'm admitting that DISCERNING the author's intent is not always the primary goal of any reading; many times, simply enjoying the flow , or clever employment of words is quite simply enough), I can't help but feel this poem is related to drug abuse in some fashion. Having been a drug addict (as I always will be, though not a practising one for decades), I see beauty and pain....the abuse of certain types of drugs can lend itself equally to both, (though pain is always the victor in the end).

If not a bother, and I'm I pry not to deeply, could you share with me the interpretation of this wonderful, insightful, invoking, emotional offer to the world? If not the world, then lil' old me? mike at bidocean.biz

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
