You paint a pretty picture;
perfected brush strokes
hiding imperfections
with colour and flourish,
almost fooling,
but not quite.
Sunshine yellow, disguising
the darkest of night.
True colours
always shine through,
revealing you.
~The H Word~ by Hazel Urquhart
"Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood" ~ T.S. Eliot
