WHAT SHE TELLS YOU
(dedication to Audrey Hepburn)

Giving speeches with fairy tale eyes
Creamy cheeks offer a semester of Vogue
Compulsion frolic with sophistication
Breakfast is her hors d’oeuvre at Tiffany’s
Where she glitters with historical presence
The rules of femininity punctuates in her magical kingdom
Whistles sweet emblematic rituals
The fidgetiness of class in her funny face

Delicate swan-like neck
Well-schooled with modesty
Overly guided by a lover’s innocence
Twinkle
Twinkle this little star
Delightfully she shines with color and smiles
She will offer you a Roman holiday without frills
War and peace in green mansions a charade on Lavender Hill
She is My Fair Lady with the golden heart
Hanging her pendant charm with nobility
Cinematic serenity wraps her years of integrity
With selfless devotion
She wants you to love her intentional artistry
To venture her art of reverie
Her impromptu speech of princes and paupers
Are only found in a lover’s playground

UNLIMITED

Tonight you will cater romance with i-Pod ready candles
Black pepper stars awaits with silver and gold necklaces
I will impress you with my tiers and tulles
You will offer me calla lilies
I will toss my bouquet in the air in memory of Romeo and Juliet
The founders of love until death
Voluble corsetry to arouse track marks with a crotchless panty
A decadent fantasy
I am ready to commence love with fluency
This guiltless undefiled pleasure
Of flesh screaming legality
Our screenplay is unrated
A vicious dance hall of fingers
Murmurs symphonic liberation
Vocal cords acquaint with your projector
I am your evening jamboree with the carousel garden
I will pawn your heart implying philosophy of deep penetration
No delusion when my belly gasps your hunger

There is so much energy in your work. Love the Audrey Hepburn poem. And in poem #2, I like the line, "I am your evening jamboree with the carousel garden".

How often do you write poems? Seems like you post quite often with new work--very cool.

Hi Miss January, thanks for stopping by. I write every single day and I'm never tired of it, you would think I would burn out from writing but it's my fuel like breathing.

Wait until I start painting which i plan on doing next month, I really do need to get myself a digital camera so I can post some of my other art/craft work i've done in the past.

"...I will impress you with my tiers and tulles, you will offer me calla lilies, I will toss my bouquet in the air in memory of Romeo and Juliet the founders of love until death." Damn, will you marry me?

I definitely love the second poem.
"I am ready to commence love with fluency"~ I love this line. It just rolls of the tongue and is the perfect description.

Well, lol, to answer Slum Facade's proposal, lol...should I even answer that question?

Girl you are the bomb!!
and you paint too?
A true artist! Be blessed:)

Gel said...

I am struck by the seemingly opposite type of poems here. Yet, underneath Audrey's sparkling air of sophistication, who knows what womanly passions brewed within her? Hopefully, she knew of love as you so firmly wrote in your deliciously passionate "Unlimited."
The artwork used to illustrate that poem is compelling as well.

Both of these poems are top-notch.

"Delightfully she shines with color and smiles"
I loved the way you painted that line.

and

"Murmurs symphonic liberation/
Vocal cords acquaint with your projector"

reminded me of someone.

Beautiful poem for Audrey Hepburn. I really adore her and I think you've said what I feel about her. She is irreplaceable and few people can achieve that...

Lyrically speaking said...

What intrigued me about Audrey is the fact that she remained so graceful and beautiful without displaying her illness to the public. I didn't even know she was that sick until she passed away.
