Short Showroom Poems

An indoor showroom for
Invaluable art pieces
To attract your attentions
To the beauty of nature
Or your admirations
To the beauty of creations of men 
Maybe for the eyes only 
But no bargains...

Cars all shiny  and brand  new
A feeling of doom has come over me
Jetta * will garage where I used to do

The weeping cherry tree retails 
Its showroom as a work of art.

All pink, more golden sparkle
coming out of cherry tree 
In perfect beauty delight.

As a thief one...two.. and three
Cherries are stolen
For her lover in rest....

He walked around the showroom
       the cars were shining bright
    He told the nearest salesman
       I do not see a bike

    They thought he meant motorcycles
      instead of brand-new cars
    The little green man got offended
      so he pedaled on back to Mars...

Upkeep and maintenance busted my financial bubble.
It always seemed to develop some kind of trouble.
This was the kind of car leaving many owners pissed.

Together we lie on the crimson sheet
Hands pressed together, we are now complete
Worlds apart in so many ways
Our eyes fixed on each other with agaze

Our body’s are worn down like a showroom antique
Our love for each other will never falter or cease
It’s now time for us to close our eyes and make peace...

Old stained mattress 
in a ditch looking forlorn
cast aside without a second thought

Old stained mattress 
blown off a truck by a strong wind
or placed here by two men lugging?

Old stained mattress
shabby and streaked
I pass her daily

Wondering if she has feelings
Making up stories about her
Thinking about her first day off the showroom floor

Poor old stained mattress
Poor poor old stained mattress
She makes me feel badly....
