Thorns

  I can not fault the wind That blows within  The hollow of my  Being  Or fault the dark that  So starkly reminds me of  The loss of your touch so  Gently upon me I will not fault  The rocks that lie hidden Before your shores  If I choose the embrace the  Rose that is you  I can not fault the thorns

I really like this poem. Makes me think of missing someone and although we know some of the things we miss are not great, we still miss them and long to hold them again, even if it brings up pain because that part of them comes along with the good. Thanks for sharing! Kim

Hi Joe, You have penned a fabulous poem and one I enjoyed from the first line to the last. The melacholy flavor of the lines adds charm to your well composed and expressive words. If I were you I would not give such wide space from one line to the other but that in no way takes away the from its beauty. Well done. Best wishes, cheyenne
