Head Space

Have you signed the waiver form? 
Safety Induction? Medical? Check… Check… 
Now watch your head on entry…… 
And also watch your step.

Although dimly lit to enter…
Many corridors and levels to explore. 
Like a Willy Wonka experience... 
Not knowing what’s behind the door. 

To the left an Angel, the right a Devil… 
Both dancing to tunes at a compromised level.
Splashes of colour.. blue, black and purple… 
A schoolgirl still learning, sits in a witches circle. 

Up a level, and divulged to allure… 
It's highly X-Rated.. nothing is pure. 
And over there is a beautiful wife… 
Broken by a man that was once in her life. 

Around the corner is the dance floor… 
She’s rocking it loud and wanting more. 
Down the corridor is a mother tending her child…
Always to protect them, a lioness in the wild. 

The corridor leads to a startled crowd… 
Watching her mood swings screaming out loud. 
She’s a worker, a mother, a girlfriend, a hoe… 
She’s a daughter, a sister, a friend and a foe!

This is really really good Derani. Love it and it's spot on. Currently reading your poems. Very talented, written from astute perspective, seeing and understanding, maybe through experience...
