LIFE

Life came riding in on a slippery tongue
glistening with tantalizing lips.
Promising golden highways-
Where there would be no harm or sorrow.
That!
Was the glittering promise I was told.
With eyes blinded by the light-
Life stole the words that slipped from my heart
Words that would slide down to my willing fingertips
and
capture the world of fantasy.
Now my words are hidden from mankind
and
from this lowly author with a timid soul.
Life, as I gaze from my window, is once again
tapping, tapping.
Smiling with tantalizing lips.

Hugs
Bonnie J.

Thank you most kindly for reading.
Haven't written for awhile, nothing was coming to mind. Then today as I was in the kitchen these words came to mind.
So glad you enjoyed.

Hugs
