The For Series

For  Help

 

open, sore

unwelcome untended

shackled, chain, body maimed,

unmendable labels gained

 

enamoured, hammered,

paranoid, no android:

we

 are

 human.

 

illogical, fleeting, hearts-weeping,

gleaming dreaming

us

condemned.

 

To think of this

to think of this

to think

 of

this

 fist

as love.

 

But blue yellow brown and red

are not the colours of love

but blood instead.

 

M. R. Wallis

 

 

Part of a collection that will be (reasonably) shortly completed based around all different aspects of love from passion to devotion, to hope to hate, and of course the negative aspects, too - such as the kind of love which is hurtful.

 

I'll try and upload a recital soon.
