She wears no mask
She wears no make up
You look into her eyes
You get what you see
I met fame
and asked her
why does she act so pricey
and she asked
“Do I? I didn’t know people wanted me.”
I met fame
and told her
people sell their soul for a little bit of her
and she answered
“Sorry for them, but I don’t have much to offer.”
I met fame
I asked her
why very few people could deal with her
and she answered
“I am sure it’s them, it can’t  be me”
They wrote me off
so I wrote myself in
Good Times
they seldom last
but take care of themselves

Bad times
they often last
unless you take care of them yourself
Relationship FICKLE mistress
Kept convenience, all consuming

Relationship FLEETING clouds
Dry, wry, thunderstorm

Relationship FRAGILE china
Chipped, pickled with emotions

Relationship FRIGID spouse
One with one self, one that stays
for many of us
love arrives unannounced
and one day
you acknowledge and recognise it
then it keeps changing
its shape, size, color, sound and smell
and you ask,
what’s wrong with you, hope you are well
and it answers
“Yes, but I hope you are doing well.”
Can i add just one dash of color
to your all black wardrobe
your black and white photography
your dark poetry
your cup of coffee
Can I be the colorful imperfection
in your perfect dark world
