IN THE BOX; BOUND

/ deuxiemepeau / 4 Comments

 

Imagine beauty
bundled in a box,
locked from light
and bound to blindness,
imagine your eyes
banished to its bounty
while it smothers in silence,
deep in the darkness.
Imagine freedom
in that very box,
bound, blind
and banished.
Imagine strength
deprived of that force,
see it tampered, tainted
and tarnished.
The refugee
on the road
holds hope
in a box bound,
breathless for the day
it can be opened.

Inspiration came from the poetry prompt ‘Box’ from @Microprompt on Twitter.

PLEDGE ON THE PAGE

/ deuxiemepeau / 3 Comments

 

I lay
loyalty
on the lines
that curl from curious
to consolidate as considered,
follies that find their form
someplace between
the pledge of pen
and integrity
of ink.

JOY IN BETWEEN

/ deuxiemepeau / 5 Comments

 

Bones break,
hearts hurt,
love is lost,
birth
is the beginning of death,

in between there is joy:
waste not being weak
