Oh, how it hurt
That refusal
That rebuff
Cut and wounded
I withdrew
Licked my wounds
Plastered my sores
Bandaged my cuts
My bruises cold-iced
My shame . . .
Yes, in truth,
Perhaps it was
More shame
Than a broken heart
Pride undermined
Ego squashed
That doesn’t help
Because
There is more shame
In it being shame.
I see that now …
And am ashamed.

Politics. Humour. Stories. Philosophy. Poetry. And all in randomness within this universe and the next, because why not?
This blog is my creative outlet where I can share my photos, my travels, my random thoughts and a bit of myself.
We're all human here, don't ever forget that. Human-Kind, be both.
