Look closely at my reflection

In the amber colored liquid

Do you see me?

You poured me, into your glass

Smelled the whiskey of my breath

Tasted the burning of my heart

Swallowed the essence, of my soul

Left me to linger, age,

Days, nights,

Finally forgotten,

Ice melted, glass cracked,

And me, ever slowly

Seeped, into the emptiness

Drowned in your sorrows

I will lie here, in this moment

Thinking only of you, your touch,

The subtle air surrounding you

Indeed, spend these lingering hours,

Basking in the glow, the splendor

Of a fire, burning, unbridled passion

Yes, I choose to stay here, enrapt,

Inhaling your scent, with the flowers

Of perfect love, tulips, by my side

You are a fragrance, I’ll not soon forget

Strands of hair, that cloak her face

Hide her shame, and life’s disgrace

A woman lost, too many others

All they do, is hold and smother

Her heart, into pieces, now shattered

Thrown away, broken, battered

Left to find, a place to survive

Somewhere, she can stay alive

Away from the streets, and johns who claw

She cannot take this, anymore

Tossed aside, like a bag of trash

Favors returned, for want of cash

They do not care, for what she’d be

This woman, in search, of humanity

the mountain cries,

tears of tomorrow

filling the emptiness

with briny waters

sating a thirsty Earth

where man dare only look

upon her sacred ground

unwelcome in her paradise
