Crimes of the Heart
Poet Rummager
I sell collectibles and art online and often find the things I've found have hilarious and at times, dark stories to tell. It's thrilling for me to be creatively random, so always expect the unexpected in the things I share with you.

Lol. Unfortunately, the patina never succumbed, so the sins stayed pretty dull. ☹️ Thanks for visiting!

Crimes of the heart carry their own judge and jury, and build a prison we can never escape from, not for long. Because in our minds, we keep revisiting the scene of the crime…the memories are the prison. I so love this poem, Rose. Ted’s artwork is gorgeous. You sure know how to pick ’em.
