Her feminine charms
served her well until she met
his stupidity.

The sultry siren
sings a seductive song to
naive little fools.

Cry your eyes out now
then wipe your cheeks, stand back up,
live like they would want.

The world is drowning
but Mother Nature lives on
in the rose garden.

She had never felt
a love quite like this before –
she felt safe with him.

The curtain rises
and the people fall silent
with rapt attention.

The river flows on,
the world turns, the seasons change,
just as it should be.

Sudden surprises
the sun rises even though
the night has fallen.

The little poisons
creep in so quietly that
we can’t feel the death.

Today’s pale grey sky
offers not a shred of hope
under mute colors.
