Self Love

NovPAD Day 22 (Love Poem)

like a poem 
she has set herself free
to be understood or not 

it is wild 
a kind of ownership 
& blind
the way blindness sees through the dark

it is beauty 
without eyelashes
cloud ribbons in a mango sky

it is the scarlet bird
rising from the cactus

We all walk in the dark. But if we hold hands, perhaps the dark won't be as scary. View all posts by abigfatcanofworms

love the tone of this, the ripe, rich imagery and that gorgeous trio of lines: ‘it is beauty/ without eyelashes/ cloud ribbons in a mango sky’
