Have I been swindled by an ambition?
Smiling insipidly, over zealous baby’s breath
Foaming at the mouth
Where have I been?
What do I know?
Piercing my eyes with brackish oceans
Silly me, yesterday’s perfume, dripped it’s poison
I waved an excited hello to destiny

Warmth lusts for man in poetic forms
Man lusts for life in the only way he can
Gracing anyone’s mantelpiece
Fortune troves translated in English
Stockpiled by wolves of position, a Godly kind
With wings…and halos, their offspring

Unannounced scenes follow landscapes
Like poverty has followed me,
Ode to a collection of entertaining stories
That ran with me, playing hide and seek
Like an earth Goddess protecting me

Woe to the reviews that would entertain their moods
One of the liveliest sagas of passion and truth
From whence all handmaidens suffer events recorded
It is the way of the heart, that speaks importance
Woman’s suffrage headed toward some lonesome lonesome avenue
With freeze dried beef and a flash light

I really wish the child of man would find something nice to say

The older I grow, the less intolerant I become

But….then, to, the beat goes on…

Very true, Lee. I enjoyed reading your poem.

Hugs, sweet lady
