A poem I wrote nearly ten years ago, but it is still valid and true:

-Masonry and the Wall-

Trust is pain.
Affection…affliction.

Naught to gain
from human addiction.

Never assume one may be exempt
from familiarity breeding contempt.

One short word
makes an end.

Venom heard
destroys a friend.

How true the phrase that hate and love
Fit together like hand and glove.

Of this part
I am tutored well.

Open heart
means pain of hell.

So withdraw once more, I find I must.
Protect the self.

I
will
not
trust.

HNT

    A potent and lovely shot to go with potent and lovely words. Happy HNT.

    gorgeous pic honey! And the poem is haunting. Strange how we come back to places were we never thought we’d be again…
