Mediocrity

I’m chocolate kisses in mid air
Lillies get stuck in my licorice hair
Not a beauty by American standards 
But I intrigue courters and enchanters

I like to fancy myself a purple poet
Though my muse is often stoic 
He dangles ideas above my head
Just out of reach making me beg

For one hint at greatness in a night
A song a poem the world’s delight
But I’m stuck in maroon mediocrity 
Sailing to blue moon from black sea
