In the fog of life
A feeling of soft butterfly kisses
Trail fleetingly across my neck
Steel strong self belies gentle soul
Wistful desire of dress with rococco lace
Denim lee's and hanes tee reality

Clash tumbling inside to settle

Why? A question unanswered and unasked
Being other, has been life on hold
Living or existing or fading

The me inside is different than I

The red carpet
5 10 perfection
6 inch heels
New Star
New movie
Paparazzi frantic frenzy
The reveal

Reflex
Duran Duran
Retro beats keep time
With the sway of her hips
Tight sparkly red dress
Highlights lush curves
tight well turned ankles
traverse the red path
coyly looking over her shoulder
winking at her adorers
She strokes her faux mink

Damn he sighs
waking up in a pool of sweat

Only a dream

Delicate pattern laid out soft and lovely
Feels so enticing on the fingertips
To feel the garment on the loin would be heaven
But Gehenna bars Entreduex from the skin

Heaven or hell
Tracks cover with snow
Silk or cotton exclusive yet elusive
For these are not for the likes of I

Gehenna Entredeux on wedding lingerie
Entredeux in Dress with crinoline flair
Flowing skirt hugging bodice
Empire waist puffed sleeves
Sweet heart neckline
Tears

Delicate pattern so soft and sweet
Tracing the lines again and again
54 inch shoulders and fist like a ham
Built like a linebacker
These don’t work for him

By 12 was man sized with heart femme
Was laugh down by family
And worked even harder and then
Life interfered and she went away
50 years later she is back to stay

What do you do
Where even to start
Go back to sleep
My little sweet heart
Gehenna bars Entredeux
From rough gnarly old men

Up until thirty he was a pretty one
The very late completion of his puberty finally caught up
A gorilla emerged from where a pretty lass once stood
He met an older woman and cared deeply for her
Love is an emotion that comes in lukewarm
comfortable and burning hot

Comfortable was an acceptable heat
After all if he could not love who he had become
How could he expect any one else to
So comfortable it was to be

..........................................................................

Older woman pass on sooner in life
It was not unexpected
The service was friendly and comfortable
But soon over, blessedly soon, goodbyes; hugs;
Endearments all drifted away

Alone, silently, the drawer was opened
The cap was removed
The older much abused toes
Were reborn a deep plum

She was still here
Deeply neglected
Sadder
Tears tracing lines that she didn't recall

Love was found

ed

A mighty man, Tall and broad
Muscles of steel, he could carry his load
Fist like a hammer, arms like a vise
Move like a train, get out of his path

Soft satin skin and red ruby lips
Curly blonde hair flowed down her back
Bright red ribbon behind her left ear
gown of red velvet and ocher lace

He's of the day; She's in the night
A curious balance, that never feels right

A man known to all
Girl has to hide
He Stands so tall
She feels like a child

Living day to day, deploring his fate
Nor caring to see what goes on his plate
Tried flipping a coin,decide which way
Landed on it's side
Guess it's better this way

Tear Drop.
