Today
Your Snow White beauty
Is cut with a sharp edge of
Street smarts.
You’ve seen
Too much.
Tomorrow
Will the visions
Scar your face with darkness,
Cigarette creases
And add black anger to your eyes,
Aging you with
Exponential bitterness?
Or will your words
Poured out upon a page
Erase the stresses
And sculpt your beauty
Into timelessness?

Reblogged this on The Dusty Poetry Corner.
Rich dark matter and I really enjoyed it Shawn.
Thank you, Kath.
Hmm, thanks, great one to re-read and ruminate upon… Love the double, or maybe endless, possibilities… Does each act and each experience draw us towards the dark or the light…?
Yes, you’re right.
