Powdered Blue Eyes
by Cate Rock
Cherry red lips
And a ice cold stair to match it.
A nice warm kiss to help detach it.
And an even colder white/blonde hair.
Framing her perfect cool face.
Out lined in lace,
Her wall so dignified and full of grace.
A blood tasting kiss
Is what she leaves.
Leaves it on collars necks
even on sleeves.
Dressed up for the ball,
Drenched in perfume,
All in all, the perfect bell
So perfect yet so raw.
Dancing with lords,
Dining on past leaders.
Drenched in sin
Yet from the best breeders.
Eyes and lids in a powdered blue.
Dressed in diamonds from head to shoe.
Dining with the rich
Spoiled my them
more and more
Behind closed doors,
Engaged to money,
Boiled in lack of chores.
Only the finest Powdered blue eyes.
Only for her no others meet these unreachable sky's.

Sky blue smoke
Drifting on unseen breezes
Swirling and twirling
Dancing its own magical dance
Above glowing embers
Last remains of a raging fire
An ancient forest
Born before man created time
Seeing the dinosaurs
Wandering through already ancient trees
The birth of the Christ Child
And the deaths of two world wars
It lived undisturbed
Unmolested by modern man
For centuries, millennia
It lived
It grew
It was the home for millions of animals
It was its own world
Then came a single man
A lit match touching a tobacco filled tube
An addiction fulfilled
The forest burnt in a moment of carelessness
Nothing left except glowing red embers
No trees
No animals
Just a cloud of sky blue smoke.
" Just try to Walk quietly.
You have to be real sneaky
to surprise blue Chickens.
Leave the old truck
Parked at the bar and always
carry a little garlic for bait.
Blue Chickens don't eat Just anything.
They aren't easy to catch"
you told me with a sleepy smile.
Almost as hard to catch
as pink elephants I thought
to myself as I covered you
with a soft blanket.
Your tequila snores
echoing through out the room.
Blue Chickens indeed
I muttered, reaching for my coffee..
Maybe I can figure out a way
to write your Blue Chickens into a poem!
