It's Sad

I've lemony kiss, a sour clone
circus clown, edges down -- lips stuck
heart of stone, maroon, and alone,
mouth from cave's depths, bar muddy muck,
hands, feet, arms, legs ... their mind's are their own.

True, bit wordy for Andrea, (12 syl's) ... thinking "Happiness" of the three, this and the other being "Fear"--I'm just jamiing posting, Aloha William
