Some things will never escape the confines of our hearts. Happy Season of Love to all. cynth'ya

Tuesday, January 31, 2006

Heroes glaze their body armor
with airborne passionfruit kisses,
shielding home-thoughts from senseless wars,
scraping sear�d carnage from their souls,
longing for childhood Valentines,
in plain brown with stick-on hearts,
while battling preschool shyness,
of girls who hate boys with cooties.

Good god, girl, I loved this! Each verse progressed with a dual 'inner-language', an 'inner life'!

Start with 'Heros', end with 'cooties'... Very symbolic and metaphorical, to my eye. Your wordsmithing often contains a book-within-a-poem.
