The way this blog is going to work is that I will post a poem that I have written either new or old and then above it I will give my prose interpretation of it. My interpretation is not the "right" one, everybody "sees" things from their own perspective.

BATTLE SCARS

This one came from my book LOVE BITES written almost 17 years ago. My reflection now bares the imperfections I have earned.


BATTLE SCARS

My heart is
broken by the
arrows of innocence.

Consequently it
is subject to 
easy penetration.

Any arrow may
pierce my organs.
The wounds may not
be fatal but the flesh
never heals.
