INSPIRED AGAIN

 

SHE IS WHISPERING BEAUTY

THAT SINGS IN THE AIR

SHE IS MODESTY’SMENTOR

WHO IS KNOWN EVERYWHERE

SHE IS PAIN THAT ENLIGHTENS

AND PLEASURE THAT SEVERES

SHE IS COURAGE THAT FRIGHTENS

AT EMOTIONAL ENDEAVORS

SHE IS A FRIEND TO ALL

WHO BELIEVE THE FAÇADE

OF CONTINUOUS SMILES

YET I THINK IT ODD

THAT SOMEONE SO JOVIAL

SO VOID OF FEAR

CANNOT EXPRESS PAIN

WHEN SOMEONE IS NEAR

PERHAPS IT’S A TALENT

I HAVE YET TO ACHIEVE

BUT THE PSEUDO CONTENTMENT

IS TOO HARD TO BELIEVE

I THINK AND FEEL

AND PERHAPS EVEN KNOW

THAT THERE LIES SOMETHING INSIDE

SHE IS AFRAID TO SHOW

SOME DEEP HIDDEN LOSS

OR FORGOTTEN PAIN

CONCEALED FOREVER

TO PREVENT OCCURRENCE AGAIN

SHE IS SLENDER ENTICEMENT

WITH SATIN BLONDE HAIR

BUT SHE MOVES ON FAR TOO QUICKLY

TO LET HERSELF CARE
