Rustic Flowers

Rustic Flowers

Rustic flowers on beggar’s grave
A gift for one I could not save
Mortality held in palm of hand
Slips past like bullet brand

Grim twas assassin’s name
Unfortunate tis a lifeless claim
Self-imposed a fixed paradox
Un-ornate tis a humble box

Etched on a steely tombstone,
β€œThwarted by self-dethrone”
Idle tis a mournful impart
No pardon mends a war-torn heart

Unheard a soldier’s beseech
For peace, he could not breach
On lips contemptuously said
It'd be best if I were dead

Introspection

I went to see
my reflection
in the water
and I was blinded
