Gena
Elioinai Oct 2014
Gena is a fragile spiderweb
Glorious in the morning sun
but shining with her tears
Gena is a kaleidoscope
red, gold, blue
Changing her patterns
always sometime new,
Gena is a glass beaded puzzle,
The filamentous kind which gentle fingers could solve,
If only she would let them,

She shouts her strength and wisdom,
Covering her brittle heart with sheer curtains,
But she will choose the right path when she screams for stability,
And her painted lattice masks go up in final flames.

About a girl I know. I think she has come a long way since I wrote this.

Everything I needed to know, I learned from a bathroom stall.

Now, if you will excuse me, I have a phone call to make.
I want to have a good time.
This Gena must live in Disneyland or a carnival.
multiple efforts and attempts got made
to communicate feedback sans the young spirited female - hoof from this hoarse neighing stranger - for bravery gives ye Top most grade
   gena buza - whose spinal cord became frayed
thus, an audio file plucked inside me - i.e. loss one must not evade
   though unsure if anyone of the heart felt emotion got conveyed
sorry to be a nuisance if inxs of umpteen copies
   of my sincere literary endeavor might induce editors to up braid
me - cuz...life lesson encapsulated within that tragic automobile accident -
   if me left quadriplegic - i would be afraid.

from n anonymous respondent who counts himself as a decades old penny wise
and pound foolish die hard TIME MAGAZINE patron -
   whose own emotional travails evoke empathy
   with another bound by barriers well he doth consider a worthy prize!
i became transfixed n enamored at your beauty
the wheelchair vanished to bequeath a duty
to commend you - from this papa whose sentiments
   take wing and fly toward poetics somewhat fruity
yet...a tenderness prodded me - a blowfish who swims
   in the cyber seas - without giving a hooty

that this dada of deux darling young adult daughters
   can seemingly make a buffoon of himself
while cyber surfing the muddy waters

if only to bring a smile
to a complete stranger (whose captioned picture with an online archive file
posted in TIME, whereby these eyes saw an agile
beautiful nymph - preparing for a high school prom
as your mom
brushed debris from your wheeled golden chariot
   to prepare your queenly debut with aplomb
knowing that no handicap
can undermine the maternal love - in whose lap
u suckled, nestled, molly coddled b4 your ***** trap
left thee paralyzed - yet the will to live fate did not zap!
