PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

your muddy copper eyes

sparkle

in spades

a kitchen romance

all warm

and feeling right at home

memories make their own

sort of splash

eloquence at an unremarkable glance

saut'ed on the surface

of your reaction to love's dispatch

yet no said kitchens stand remembered

in your past

you forge all future bonds

from mismatched ideals lent to you by

a broken and brutal man

your abusive, alcoholic step father

who beat into you a defiance of

circumstance that later would serve

you so well

and it was that which saved your valiant

soul

before the stage and proving ground

of all the world's attention

via of all things

a movie role

no less.........
