Face as white as winter snow

A serpent tattoo frames her eye

Lips, as red as red could be

Even the mirror lets out a sigh

But she is not a human, no

She is but a mere apparition

Quite different from all the others

Though many have their suspicions

She blends in with them, so perfectly

All these geisha’s, sitting around

No one would guess she is a fake

That would be truly profound

She keeps herself well hidden

Except, with Harry, who’s quite profane

Behind the curtain, she is a star

All decked out, in leather and chains

On the bed sheets, a ring of gold
Along with a hand written note

No idea what she should be sorry for
Still, he felt a lump grow, in his throat

The small circle, of polished gold
Cast a shadow, in the shape of a heart

Suddenly, it dawned on him
His life, was falling apart

His state of affairs, no longer relevant
She was gone, without even goodbye

His heart, broken, into shattered pieces
When he realized, it had all been a lie

The humidity was stifling
Her hair was quite the mess

Sweat dripped from her lashes
Down her cheek, onto her dress

She tried her best to hide it
This was not her usual style

Always cool and collected
She was becoming more hostile

The doorman glanced, curiously
After all, she wasn’t at her best

“You look very lovely today.”
“Surely, sir, you must jest

I’m saturated, like a sponge
Your pleasantries are inane

I’m soaked right through, can’t you see?
From standing in the rain!”

A sky as blue as the lady’s eyes
Not a single cloud could be seen

But, he opened up his umbrella
After all, she was the Queen

Inspired by Ritu, of But I Smile Anyway, who is currently in the editing stages of her book!


Mischievous little dragon
Made his way onto the chair

On the desk, the author’s writings
Spread out, without a care

He wondered if she’d notice
If he added a line or two

But dragons don’t know how to write
He pondered, what he should do

Deciding he should try his hand
At a sentence, here or there

With a mighty breath, he blew
Now there’s fire, everywhere!

Whatever shall he tell her
When Mistress sees the mess

“I tried to fix your manuscript
I really must confess!

These scribbles made no sense to me
All I saw were smudges, nothing greater

So I decided to help rewrite the whole thing
I’m sure you’ll thank me for it later!”

Kaleidoscopic Swirls ~ #MayWriting #poetry

Something is terribly wrong here

When I look I can’t see a thing

It’s more like a kaleidoscopic swirl

With colors that dance in a ring

Maybe I’m not using them right

I thought this would be so easy

But all they keep doing, is dripping

This whole thing is making me queasy

Then I heard someone yell to me

Something about being a dope

Now I realize exactly why

I’m using a Popsicle, as a periscope
