Thunder is the gem that speaks to me

of irrational stone love

the kind that shines in the dark

 

but in daylight

shows a fool's gold luster

that breathes consequences

 

against the cheek of a damaged heart

and there is

no rouge to cover them.

Ah that fools gold. How we can be taken in by it so easily. The cheek of a damaged heart hides nothing. It is littered with teardrops. Beautiful poem dear J.

dear Jacob… most of us have damaged Hearts… however, our Heart 💜 keeps Beating… like Sheep bleating in Pastures Green along a Stream of weeping willows where Hearts can remember… softly, Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]

like Sheep...ah yes.

‘against the cheek of a damaged heart
and there is
no rouge to cover them.’

What one sees at night when the moon and shadows dance upon us it's the thunder and love that makes life worth living, but when daylight arrives, it can be a whole different story....love changes as life changes and we must learn to accept it....or not....no rouge can cover up any damage....
Best, B
