High Heels and Black Silk Stockings High heels and black silk stockings smoking room her youth in bloom with conversation sweet, not lasting and memory with lots of room. In the hallway by the pay phone drenched and open with perfume he told her just how much he loved her swept her from her feet too soon. She saw loving as the answer full and open as the song that played the jukebox ever after how could she have been so wrong. Bare feet and quilted comfort she was young with fairy tales thought her beauty held the answer her girlhood dreams in truth had failed Knights with armor to protect her she believed with all her heart would keep her safe forever after from this youthful pain she’d part. She gave herself beneath the moonlight in the park across the street when she woke the dew was glistening as she sat alone to weep. High heels and black silk stockings smoking room her face a ploy of conversation sweet, not lasting and memory of a heart destroyed. |

Ah, Martie, well penned. I have often wondered how so many mothers who tell their children of the pain of the broken heart and the kids through generations seldom listen. ~netswan |

This one has been acted out many times for sure. High heels and black stockings should be registered as deadly weapons, which backfire occasionally. This is a vivid and realistic portrayal, Martie. Nicely done..... |

ahhh the acts of misspent youth. Nice feel for being trapped in a situation that is not what it originally seemed or that we hoped it to be. But, we have to live life to learn about it...good and bad [This message has been edited by Rodney Belcher (edited 06-08-2000).] |

Martie... I deal with the results of your poem on a regular basis. Such pain inflicted when one ventures into the *real* world still clinging onto the perceptions of childhood. Exceptional writing as always. |

Martie~ The scene moves slowly through the mind of so many who take this path - and wake up to reality with a thud ! 'She saw loving as the answer full and open as the song that played the jukebox ever after how could she have been so wrong.' Nicely done, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Yanno, Martie - maybe it would have turned out different if you had worn taupe stockings instead of those ugly black ones... just a suggestion for your next foray at being a lil vamp - lol. Great poem |
