Gloria

She heaves in doubt
The emptiness in her gaze 
Lets her hair down
Not full enough 
She sighs
Tresses tossed aside
Much like inner beauty 
The agony of imperfection
A grand deception

What shapes her?
God or society
Testosterone was
Afterall, a divine idea
Leaving Gloria behind
Searching for a magic mirror
Longing for utopia
In a barren marital land

Her stalker lurking
"Is she crazy?"
Bedazzled beyond repair 
Much ado about
Small details
"Picture perfect", he sighs 
Love and obsession
A blurry line

Hubby walks in
A heartless peck
The pangs of lovelessness
"Can we have some fries, honey?"
Gloria,the temple
Body or soul, she wonders
Earthly goddess to one
French fry factory to another.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
