WordPlay

A play on words. Poetry in motion

Alchemy Pain Poem by Edy Benjamin

(sometimes it takes an emotional

blast to reopen the right side of

the brain

fortunate sometimes they start

slow then grown hang on with

your teeth)

seeing yourself in another’s eyes

from, sometimes, we need to hide

o eyes

tortured

embarrassed

angry

fiery in

both hate and love

divine

both

o

humor

god

and who owl

feels the smile

before seeing it

old soldiers

marching into war

we, to morn,

the loss of life

rest in peace poet

if de facto you are gone

who told the story

of his tortured life

and yes the joys

fleetingly higher

than my eyes beheld

for sure de facto

if gone

i will not miss you

your stories reside

in the treasure chest

of moi.
