"China"

Damaso

Brrm Brrm!
This is me! I told her.
The Chinese girl burst out laughing
and pleads insanity.
I'd like to show you
the tenderness of a child
behind
the Tasmanian devil.
Don't ever believe
not even my word.
I am what I do
and I don't say
if you saw me cry
the end of my child
with him in my hand
and in the other
the tail of my executioner
dragging me with your power
I understood my blood
the great Karma shakes me
pride of my little fire
beats of eternal love.

    They say inside every devil there is a heart that is crying out for love, it is just many do not know how to recieve it so cannot give it, sorry I waffle!!, enjoyed the read, nicely written

    • Damaso

      I agree, sir. This devil is the father of a little princess. He's apparently coming to shake up the universe as we know it. He may be working on that aspect. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and leave your thoughts. Best regards.

        Filled with diametrically opposed elements that unite in one way or another. Well done

          Well, I'm glad you see it that way and that you liked it too. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your words of encouragement. Best regards.

          Your words paint raw emotion with striking contrasts—both tender and fierce. A hauntingly beautiful dance of vulnerability and strength.

              Wow, well, my friend, I'm also happy to meet such kind and caring people. Despite my many flaws and shortcomings, they treat me as an equal, and those events are what stop the stars from admiring these gestures.
