Poor love and grief-stricken voice Full red lips go down the tongue Of high arched eyebrows Until the blood of persistence Claims Barbie… And I’ve never been sorrier Smiles came frivolous…then Twas the wall of the end Determination had fallen in love With what lost me forever Smiling genuine and real Swearing to keep me…for it’s Next meal Engraving the hehe’s into my mind With spiky shoes And for a moment, I sorely regretted Looking up… How long has it been….4, 5 years? No longer wearing sun glasses and A trench coat I carry a box of knives & woman’s instinct Sometimes kicking the sand hard… You were always late Uninterested…with pathetic excuse Stepping on my toes With stories about your best girls And how they showed you off You never realized, it was my family and Friends, I wanted to show off… I’m hoarse from your laughs Nakedness tugs at my hemline Intentionally losing my way So, kiss me passionately Fingering the edges of my heart Even hardened people have dreams You’ve watched me long and powerfully Leaning on the bench praying My carrier bag grows heavier Breathing with imaginings Place your hands around my waist And stop hiding my keys Stop changing the colors to suit you The Test of Time has reached a fading ego With all to familiar voice Soon to be non existent It would take courage to win me… And a real kiss of true colors Ahhh, but it wasn’t a win which amused you Eyes widened and screaming with that Intoxicated look Spend me, with your smirk I hate feeble and glass slippers Rip me with your sequels And I’ll update your responses I’m not a fashion designer But in theory can sketch your heart And the cost of hurting Wants my intention I say…Kiss me…before you say good-by Long and hard Take the chill from my spine politely Cuz in your mind, it’ll be my fault When you leave again…. Babe… I feel equally as bitter All’s fair in love and war Isn’t it….? So kiss me…kiss me hard I’m all dressed up for romance |

Put this back 25 years, and one gets the image of a stewardess... or at least, I did... Well done, dear. |

What else can one say but "wow" when one gets back up off the floor. This one's got quite a punch. Wonderful as usual. |
