Just Under the Three

Just Under the Three


an improbability they cry
a refusal to see beyond
to catch the trick of the eye

she had 4 faces you see
Day and Night,
Love and Death

elusive she was
she thought to hide besides
the folds of our dimensions

but a trained eye can believe
that hidden behind the three
her true face can be seen

that trained eye was me
i saw into a parallel dimension
and i did see

beauty that astounded me
such a lovely one hidden
just under the three

but peering into a fourth
it peeled my brain
shades now haunt my gaze

even though i point to them
declare all i have seen
they shun that which I believe.

I have been writing poetry for the last 13 years. It all started as an assignment for a creative writing course. I never thought I would like writing, as I am dyslexic and language was always a struggle for me, but I fell in love with the art form in that class.
