About this ebook
Poetry
There are times when I despair of some poetry
written, nice words knitted together for the sake
of sounding pleasant the truth of life is made
into a Hollywood romance, beautiful and we cry,
misspent, sentimental tears over the irrelevant.
My almond tree looks spindly like an oversized
spiders web, so ugly in its bareness that hadnt
it been for love I would have averted my gaze
from this grimness called a tree. But I also know,
say, a month from now it will be covered in pink
flowers which it strews on the path I walk.
There are times when I hate to hear about red
roses, because the next sentence will be trivial,
like bleakness should not be a part of life.
