#newpoetry if you like it give me some love on medium. Linktr.ee is in my bio! Old Wood By J.R. Verwey @whiskeredwriter You are far too late. Those few reckless words, Best if left unsaid, Drip rose-petal drops. Indelible stains That ruin the rug. Tear it up and hope For clean floors below. Superficially, All seems well, but Old wood holds old lies, Swollen planks creaking, You are forgiven. . . . . . . . #poem #poety #amwriting #beardedbard #beardofdestiny #beardedwisdom #ageofthebard #starstuff #onelove (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0UM0USgZki/?igshid=cjj3y2mxasd4
