Crooked

He was crooked
He was torn
He smiled
But it was broken

His hands knarled
His eyes burned
This is the man
Who has been forgotten

He doesn't cry
He's unlearned how
He forgets the pain
With the love of a child

She is perfect
She is loved
She frowns
For words unspoken

Her hands are soft
Her eyes are shining
This is the girl
That will never be forgotten

Now they are friends
Both a crooked heart

Nice wrap around. Simplicity is the greatest complexity.

I love how you made each character complete opposites, yet they are similar "Now they are friends Both a crooked heart."

He doesn't cry, he's unlearned how...forgets the pain w/ the love of a child...

That is some of the most beautiful writing I have ever read. Some of your other poems don't hit as deep for me, kinda skim the surface but this...wow.

Beautiful subject and well captured in very very few words.

I like your work. I read through a few, and I like the simplicity of your words. I'll be reading more soon, when the time allows.

And thank you for your lovely comment on my poem. I see you're also a Jacksonville girl. :)
