Kim Van Breda Poet Free verse

Scarlet Ways

SCARLET WAYS

giving suck
to a brood of
starving stars
voices flush out
the debris of your
soul
as you try to rip
the satin from my
mouth
which will not
swing the way
you know…
they are
resigned to
things you may 
never probe

lonely again
I lay down in my
hair and say….
‘Gondolier’
as you try to
range your mind
North… but
my arrow is out
as I learn more
from missing
when I
miss

and we break off
the arms
of our statues

Thank you... and a Blessed Christmas and 2016 to you and yours too. We all 'err' on the side of neglecting friends and family. I think our intentions are good... our time is misplaced :) ~~X~~
