Camargue horse

 

 

 

 

 

Flaming flamingos,

cantering Camargues,

exotic, erotic,

the passions are ours.

 

Gossamer lace wings,

and butterflies hearts,

so fragile, so delicate,

can tear us apart.

 

Humming bird’s tears,

and bumble bee breath,

a delicate balance,

of grief brought by death.

I am a contradiction!

Damaged and fragile,

a smashed up china doll.

Introvert and quiet,

a lone snowdrop,

passed unnoticed –

unwatched and unobserved.

Inside –

a cavern.

Older than time itself.

Deep and hidden,

solid,

like a foundation.

Ever there, ever present,

with a core of steel.

Immovable.

Determined.

A stormy winters night,

brooding and moody,

ethereal, transcendent,

not belonging.

Like a storm cloud passing through.

I am a contradiction,

with a beating

heart.
