Poem Discovered On Cave Wall Poem by Brian Mayo

Poem Discovered On Cave Wall

Rating: ★5.0


I made the wheel
You rolled your eyes

I saw the truth
You called it lies

I asked for love
You made demands

I nurtured fire
You burned your hands.

Loss, love, and maybe a bit of regret somewhere in four parts of two lines and a single sentence.. Technically a brilliant poem Brian.. Thanks for sharing..

SO, I guess this stuff has been going on for a long time now, eh? :) Where's the loss? The hands? I can see there's much love in that cave....

I considered this ending for a long time: I captured fire, but burned my hands Is it better? from a woman's perspective? Changes the meaning quite a bit...
