Strip Tease

I’m like a chameleon 
I don’t mean to be
Happy when with you 
but also happy with just me

My colors change to match 
The seasons and the breeze
I’m down for whatever
Happy go lucky at peace

I’m easygoing until you know
I’m needed to be hard and cold
You may or may not be bold
Enough to see my inner child grow

I’ll play the game until the end
Bounce with joy no matter who wins
For I know we will continue to blend
Making new rules new game new sin

I admit I’m a naughty neon girl
Born again but stuck in the world 
It’s more what I do in my mind
Not what you see if you are kind

If I really was a truly free soul
I’d pawn my body and heart of gold
And become a body-less being 
A Cupid of sorts with love so freeing

But here I am a chameleon soul
In my nightclub life dancing on a pole
Happy to glide in the music solo 
In my eyes is a haunting you know

What with the tempting title and the wink-wink poem, I can't believe I'm only the second to comment. Are we all prudes here now?... At any rate, great piece of poetry, Karen. Well-done. ~ Gershon
