The Play Is In Her Head

The play is in her head.
It should be in her bed.

Desire so contorted,
out of control,
fantasy eludes her,
makes her a fool.

She gives him the power,
the power to say;
"Today you can wonder,
tomorrow dismay,
but then maybe the next day,
you just never know,
I'll make you so happy,
you'll suck and you'll blow"

For he is her puppeteer,
she hangs on his strings.

I'll give her some scissors,
see what that brings!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
