Love Lesson

Your heart heals her wounds

As she trusts for the first time.

Scars peeling away.

His Legacy

Called his daughter whore.

Nightmares become memory

As she wakes in sweat.

White mass on your brain

And you, brother, far away.

The pain sears my heart.

Falling asleep wrapped

In the warmth of angels’ arms

Knowing we are loved.

Kitchen glass fireworks

Cut the loneliness like shards

In her waiting heart.
