A list of suitors
in your coat pocket
lets the madness overwhelm
The galoshes stained
from the rain
of sarcastic tears
or cynical fears
A shimmering stain
singular
carries pain
relative to your threshold
Daftly dance, Doll
for your hips hold hearts
in belt loops as chains
Cast them aside,
but give hope
Leave a trail
for me,
please
I'll beg,
plead
Until a hole of despair
brings me to my knees
Keep your eyes
they only reflect
never offering a retreat
just another battle
Trod upon fields of marigolds and tulips
open,
wild-eyed,
free
A mile away
lies the bars of a cage
within the depth of a Heart
the shallow emotions
incredibly Human
incredibly over-analyzed
Pardon me,
it seems
your carbon is thieved
Live on
in another pond
ever-colored
red
