I can pretty you up with words
all I want; write that flowery spin,
Or I can deny or pretend depending
on what imaginary mood I’m in…

I can run it through make~believe land,
Sprinkle it with stardust sand,
Even sugar~coat it like candy…

When what I really need to do
is to finally de~flower you,
Acknowledge what you did to me
and dirty you up with the truth.

~ from “Songs from the Time of Kren Shaw”

I love this poem. You have a straight forward honesty that makes it work well. I find often I will use emotions from a divorce or breakup to create my poetry and in a attempt to do this I sometimes as you state very well " sprinkle it with stardust sand". Then I almost HAVE to write a dark and brooding piece about the same feelings just to set the compass back to truth north.
  If this is a little long lol sorry. Just wanted to let you know how i related to this one.

Yo dear Brneyedgrly,

I was "de~flowered" years ago, and I've already written a truthful auto-biography.

You have written a very good poem here.  I like it a lot.

Love Bobby

I like your plain talking poetry.  You tell the story and lead me right along with you.
