Three Course Meal

frozen mango tango

 

pain steals in soft

frozen fangs

tempted by exposed underbelly

plated appetizer

*

 pearly whites gnaw

masticate

savour slow the flesh of broken hearts

 main course destruction

*

faith foamed and frothed

tenderized

redeems gnashed, broken ingredients

  becomes sweet dessert

*

Lift

canopy

 

Unless I lift my lowered gaze,

I’ll miss the Beauty in my days –

Remain attached to lowly sod,

Where lowly caterpillars plod.

But if I lift my thoughts above,

Forever seek the path of love,

My heart will rise on golden wings,

Accomplishing much brighter things.
