Her Dreams

Her flowing locks were telling
truth in their friendliness

Her smile was Madonna’s envy
innocence flowing forth

Her heartbreak was worn proudly
Against the evilness of a foreign war

Her light honored her man’s sacrifice
Enlightening the other wives

Her dreams were full with his handsomeness
Nightly and for years.

Her lips were petals of flame
against the icy fingers of her lost love

Thank you Michelle. It is a snow day and I was tired after painting all night.
