~Her Poetic Palette ~
I entered her life in trust
as she opened her heart to me
Mist glistened from her petal lips
when she said, "... I love this man"
Offerings to her I gave freely
but she insisted upon control
offering little ... in reality
as sadden days will come
Carefully concealing her heart
she hid beyond ... herself
scattering fragile jeweled seeds
given by this honest man in love
A poetess of uncertain reign;
yet, I praise her as my Queen
She tossed this peasant hope
and vanished within forgetfulness
Triumphant in association & game
comparing me to those other ... low~lives.
Splashing insult and innuendo
~~~ fleshing me as them ~~~
but never truly knowing this Man.
She stole my sincere heart,
hid silently without regret
and emptied my poet's soul
onto her poetic palette.
