It's just not fair
all that beauty
jet black hair
double duty
all eyes follow here and again
Classic smile
an easy glance
Faultless style
ordered chance
equal parts grace and spin
A song of motion
poetry impractical
blue steel notion
clean, tactical
full range of emotional swoon
All over too soon
fleeting calming bliss
subtle respite from gloom
death in every kiss
the prettiest girl in the room

Like the ash of a cigarette that brought the cancer
It says it wouldn’t and maybe even believes it didn’t
These riddles and their responses, the first signs
Like knowing you are ill yet not knowing what it is
Feeling like a hypochondriac
Then, when the immune system is spent
It strikes at its worst, takes it all over
The diagnosis finally revealed
In stage 4 it’s terminal
And you have pneumonia
About to go into a coma
No winning this
That Jet black hair and classic smile
Like cancer it waited it out, mostly silent
While it infected the whole
It finally succeeded in its quest, it usually does
Took out the whole body and the whole family
It usually does
Now time to heal, for those that survive
As best we can
In a quandry, ain't you? LOL Sigh - not one of the beautiful people, guess we're destined to be alone. :( Well done -
(((HUGS))) and love, K.
Have missed you - are you okay?
Be always safe,
Karen
