Redamancy

Geri Leigh Garrett 1989 (Missouri)



Deep inside the cracks of her eyes

That is where She kept the sunrise

Hidden within her bruised heart

She guards her most treasured art

Beyond her features is unseen fantasies

Far bigger and brighter than galaxies

Expressing her desire for that one kiss

That takes her further into the abyss

Just look past her damaged and torn silhouette

So you can finally see her sunset

    So true. A bruised heart will often create a safe haven to hide hopes and dreams. Nicely conveyed this emotion. Nice job.
