red-handed

motives of
thievery
are motives of
pettiness
and surely these
do not exists
in good men

so
please,
steal away

the paintings
and photographs,
they will burn with
ease,
this much
i can promise
but i will create
faster than it can be
destroyed

and if that weren't
enough,
let it be known,
memory
is inextinguishable

'Steal away'...... all those items are just 'stuff''. The real treasure remains safely hidden, the source from which they came. Nice work!

Susan Jarvis
No one can steal the glittering gems of an imagination - the most inpenetrable safe I know. A wonderful poem. :)
