Do you remember
child, unblemished?
smiling, joyful,
pushing pedals
towards
the sun
as if there were
no tomorrow?
I can’t remember her
perhaps she was
a fevered dream

Can we find beauty,
and marvel at its presence,
In the hideous?
Our blemished existence may
Possess multitudes.

A handwritten love note
wrapped in saffron wool sweater
adorning the cozy bistro,
in the steady pause betwixt lines
amorous playlists expressing
what words couldn't,
her tender heart
zealously exploring
his marvelous affection

No #wild Sunday here
we planned to go to the #zoo
but it was too #cold
so we #barley left the house
#blemished fun, #first #hand boredom

My flesh - blemished,
my soul - tainted,
still, I rise above
like an eagle soaring
reaching for a new dawn.
The white radiance
of her wedding dress
was blemished
a drop of red wine
cast from her new
husband's glass
in the midst
of a meandering speech
as he moved about
like a dog with fleas
the marriage didn't bode well
#Trapped
inside my
mental maze
lost in deep
thought for
days I must
find my way
out and stay
resilient and
brave Although
my energy is
depleted I don’t
consider myself
defeated because
I’m still breathing

Face of many years
gazed upon the mirror rain.
Looked young once again.

Replenished the stock,
Barring a blemished bottle,
Colour diminished.

What man dresses poor words on deckle-edged sheets?
The paper is no more the poem
than the vatman is a poet.
A crusted turd—
garnished with buttered spuds and sprouts—
is still a turd.

Poor grocer,
You started giving discounts
For fruits barely blemished.
#Emoetry prompt for 9/19 is #Blemished
Do not #envy us;
the envious covet us—
jealous, covetous.

A dark cave #explored,
'neath the chine, along the shore,
Gunn's gold lies not there.

Some are too zealous
need to soften their resolve
a bit of gentle kindness
less strong words
More tolerance
that would be good for all
