I’m different this I know
I live my life differently
I write poetry,
I love whimsical slogans
but
I’m rooted in responsibility  Grounded in place by obligation
unusually passionate
a champion of the underdog
with
a strong desire
to love and be loved
seeing others in need breaks
my heart
but
l’m also self destructive
I can be bitterly jealous
I take unnecessary risks
I love blindly
I constantly throw caution
to the wind
and
as the Irish would say
I find myself in a fine kettle of *****
usually of my own making
so
to combat my faults, flaws and dragons
I have a simple rules
keep my mouth shut!
never voice my discontent
and
keep my demons and dragons caged  
I’m a wild creature that out of necessity has been domesticated
so
that she may walk freely in the world
but for a kiss
i have broken these rules
and
i have given my discontent a voice
Set free the dragon
who in turn released the demons
who now crave what they have
long been denied ................ love
but
for that kiss I would die a thousand deaths.
