The Way She had a way of innocence around her, Like she wore it on her sleeve. Undeniably eager to learn about love, about life, about the world. Not afraid of what was to be, for she could not expect what was right under her nose. Not afraid of what was to be, and not expecting either, but blinded by thick glasses Covering her bright brilliant blue eyes, masking her, shading her, protecting her. Thick glasses on the table of the coffee house ‘round the corner, reflecting distorted Images of the people walking in. Distorted images of people walking in and passing by Lies coating the insides of their shirts, Not visible to her bright brilliant blue eyes. Lies not easily detected or maybe just left alone their sleeves of experience Outlasting those or her own. Experience used the innocence like a wolf does to a lamb. And this meek little lamb eventually learning of what the plan was that had been laid upon her. The white skin turned to gray for the softness all gone rough The innocence washed away, thrown in with the colors and plaids and silks lost among The wash. Now this meek little lamb with a way about her went out to learn the world. To learn of love and life and friendship, to learn the stories left untold. Not expecting to find danger but a single sliver clover. Not expecting lies and deceit, but a fairy tale ending. But what she looked for was not what she found, For life was not all black and white. She found the grays and greens the cottons the silks the plaids, the brights. She had a way of experience around her, Like she wore it on her sleeve, A sleeve of beautiful colored garments enhancing her Bright brilliant blue eyes for now all the world could be seen. "In great moments life seems neither right nor wrong but something greater it seems inevitable" ~Kelley |

Cripes, this completely rocked!! Not afraid of what was to be, and not expecting either, but blinded by thick glasses Covering her bright brilliant blue eyes, masking her, shading her, protecting her. That's me all over.

Wow... this was difficult to read because of the colours, but that actually served to enhance the message. Was this your intent, or was it simply a bonus? Yes, very nicely written. A truly great poem. Please don't hesitate to share some more of your work! |
