Life is fragile
You, my friend, are not so
Such a small creature
You have such a
presence
Such a strong grip
on this life-
Claws scratching
Teeth bared
You will not surrender
your gift
until you've scraped every scrap
off the bone.

Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Behind Blue Eyes
 |
| dog by scavengercat808 |
You peek at life through your high fence
Hide behind bared teeth and demon growl
but your eyes betray
Behind blue eyes lies the soul of a pup
who wants only to be told he's good
to feel gentle strokes upon his barrel chest
and to hear,
again and again,
that I am yours
