WHEN STATURE IS A FORM OF GRACE

Red hair,
skin sweet apple, 
Her face  like a geisha
quiet yet armed with falcon eyes
You'll see.

His nose:
sharp  like a knife.
Alone, she has no friend,
was this the way she's meant to be
shadowed?

Lonely
with hurt anew
she sighs deep like furnace
with only a dolesome ballad
to sing.
 
For she
was different, 
demure in every way,
stature becomes a form of grace
within.

She chafe
folks that bore her,
their slanderous tongues.
Have they no grace nor some respect
to care?

Actions
where life pulsates
demands each to play roles
yet still, when silence roars, hear
echoes.

Truth ~ lies
all mixed in one,
baffling the people,
leading the narrow minds astray,
wonky!
