I Want It Bad

gimmie, gimmie, gimmie. you've got me begging like a baby. and you know i am such a lady but this gold has got me crazy. hazy, hazy, hazy, under skies of purple daisies. i'm pouting my lips like a young girl. and i can't help how my toes curl every time you bring that glamour around. honey, hope you haven't forgotten i only smell this sweet because i'm spoiled rotten. no one deserves so much so fast but i found that it doesn't hurt to ask. ever since i was little i knew how the world worked. manipulate and replicate until the world is yours to take. is it a sin to have your cake and eat it too? even if the party wasn't for you? the name on the cake says "princess" and i'll blow out the candles till i'm blue. because i'm royalty, now. with eyes made of diamond and a heart of coal, soaked in silk worth more than el sol. i'll meet you downstairs by the bar. when the sky's as rose tinted as your glasses i'll help you dig up treasure in the sand by la mar.

Lovely poem, Carlyn; sort of reminds me of the song "yummy yummy yummy I've got love in my tummy", except that this is on a higher level, poetically. Love the final stanza! ~ Congratulations on your fine win. // paul

I enjoyed this, normally I pass by a poem if there isn't the proper punctuation and capitalization-it's just a pet peeve of mine-but I really did enjoy this, I like the repetition, the descriptions, it was very neat to read, thank you for participating ;)
