Forgiveness Hides

by Kal A

On every page pictures dwell
Of teary words in musty smell
My books are here, and live to tell
As he follows in blissful hell
Father laughs as I complain

His face echoes
And his grassy eyes glitter of forbidden glare
They come closer to bringing him food
That his soul has long longed for
As he retreats into the night

So a dusty, moon lit street
Puts him in time imprisoned holes
So he can lurk in revenge
For all the un-nurtured souls

A child’s heart
Full of smiling faces
Imports the white wave
Of indistinct dreams
There he comes
Travel, into his castle

Two, tall, charming brothers
With gray shoulders
And wild eyes

They seat the child across a silvery horse
O, hills where the saint air bathes a sea of flowers
And on his soft cheek where the dew falls
Move their delicate, fearful, and enticing fingers

He feels in warmth their apprehensive breaths
Which smells of long rosy orchids?
And in which time, a tear interrupts his burning desire

Lost and Found
And then lost again

He hears their hearts heating on his back

Silence…

See in his blushed face, maps of confidence
And travels under the sea of shame
Boats of fire

All but a smile
Falls onto his face
And he keeps on loving
What he feels
