gentle smile
carved ivory grace
cheekbones high
upon her face
what lies behind
is not what it seems
can you find
the cameo dreams?

worn just for show
her worth unclear
growing golden
with passing year
handle carefully
lest you feel her prick
she’ll bleed you dry
with just one stick

waken her not
to hear the screams
nightmares plague
her cameo dreams

cameo dreams,
Ouch...coming out bold! Welcome to Passions. Hope you like it here as much as me. Sunshine will send you an unofficial surprise. However, she does it so much, by now, I think it is official. Excellent poem. Look forward to more.

~* Welcome to Passions *~

I got wrapped up in memories by your first post, as this could apply to the male gender as well.  I hope you will enjoy it here and this was a very strong post on your entrance.

You’ve made a fantastic entrance with this one. Keep writing like this, and I’ll keep reading. A big welcome to you, here to the blue pages.

Cadenced kissed and rhymes divine!
Welcome to Poetry Land Cameo Dreams...
so nice to have you here with us.

Of all the things in me I could never be,
of the true I kept hidden from view,
the best parts of my heart ...
were the ones touched by you.

As I read this the image within the ivory became clearer and defined. The imagry you used worked well, right into the person wearing it.

Welcome Cameo.
I am pretty new myself. This is a wonderful place with wonderful people and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
This poem is very mystical. I especially like the brilliance of the idea of the cameo.
I look forward to reading more of your work.
