Maria

She cooks by morning

Washes a sink full of dishes by noon

And twists to the Radio by afternoon.

 

She teaches by evening

Plays the Violin by night

And writes till dawn.

 

She rolls by morning

Smokes pot by noon

And twists to the Radio by afternoon.

 

She drinks by evening

Injects love into her blood by night

And knocks at your door at dawn

 

She says: M.a.r.i.a

You: W.h.o?

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." Be blessed.
