Fingerprints
left their mark
sitting daintly upon
my china goblet.

A spoken word
a silent gesture
traced through vibrations

Oh, your majesty

So regal
do you mean to be imposing
or does it come naturally
to you?

each step
is done with such
flowered elegance
that birds to not flee
and instead come to rest
in your arms
And everyone just knows
it's not practised.

Oh Buttercup love.
who do you choose to
grace
with your gaze?

Surely not
yours truly
No, no. No

Eyes slide over
this
shadow
against the wall
Like they would
a plain old china doll
Not graced with skilled hands
nor tender loving care

Grubby fingerprints
left their mark
along with tattered
rags.

And thanks, along with apoligies
left forgotten
at
the door.

Much enjoyed! I hope and am sure that the writing of this was cathartic. There are just some people who are so annoying. They think we don't see through them, and that is perhaps the most annoying thing of all.

The first stanza really hits it off. Witty in a nonchalant way.

Like a ship blown from it's mooringby a wind off the sea- I have been changed for good.
