“Reckless Stallion”

July 2025
Ink on Paper
8 x 10 Inches

Lovers cry, tears cannot be hidden,
all because of the flesh game,
the most powerful urge to blame,
tears of a fool’s shame.
Lovers they cry, players they buy,
crimes are always forgiven,
but never forgotten
by those who have been shamed.
Tears of a fool’s shame
all because of the flesh game.
Love is binding; flesh is blinding,
embracing the arms of a lover’s pain.
Shame and regret caught red-handed,
hoping to tame the reckless stallion,
oblivious to its name.
It does what it pleases,
horsepower to the grounds he claims.
