Two Poems by Joy Olree

Eden

My heart is sad,
For eyes that,
Have not seen the light,
Their brilliance,
Dulled by the dark,
We live to die,
The serpents muse,
A hungry soul,
Who dared to,
Eat forbidden fruit,
And suffer for,
The hidden knowledge,
In the wood


Pictures

What you say?
Those hands,
That sheer curtain,
Pictures so intriguing,
That camera, the woman,
What you say?
Beauty in simplicity,
Clutter free art,
Not sure I get it,
The meanings seem,
Clear yet so deep,
Each photo and its, quote,
So memorable so stirring,
Makes one stop and think,
Makes one desire,
To understand,
The soul behind,
The lenses
