Rings and Tears –

 “Sometimes you think you’ve found love, when it’s really just one of those objects that are shiny in a certain light–a trophy, say, or a ring, or a diamond, even. Glass shards, maybe. You’ve got to be careful, you do. The shine can blind you.” 

–  Deb Caletti, The Secret Life of Prince Charming

I gave you gold and diamond rings

I know that their just pretty things

But behind the glitter and the gleam

they meant more to me than to you it seemed

Being willing to hold you forever

I showed you a tender glimmer

Lights shining on rings your holding

They were only rings you told me

(tears)
nothing less, nothing more

Glory Undone – A woman succumbs to vice –

“She’s not happy about the life she is living but to jump through the hoop would mean to succumb to death.” – Kit Williams

*

I saw her give up and fall to addictions vice:

 

“Your legs splayed in graphic way

Wanting to leave this world, come and play

Scoring your hits underneath dark worlds
Flying, inhibition burned in pink pearl

Reaching to touch your body magnificent

I’m held at bay by your habit’s descent

Changed from a fondled object of desire

Picking at your curves that soft skin on fire

Tears they are my lover as you fade from sight

Pleasure was ours until you hid in your night”

– Nightfall, D.M.W. Sager

*

Glory is undone as the softness turns to a melted waste of surrender

 

Gone is the shine from the jewel of your womanhood

 

Shame clothes a golden soul tarnished by wantonness

 

Laying down your fight as your thoughts of peace fall with fear

 

What’s left now that you gave your glory to another?

 

Stained garments of unusual color adorn your nakedness

 

Dive into the murky river as it flows away

 

Perhaps your deeds will not settle on your life

*

Pressing back the past, recover your glory undone.

Digger – Dig that gold

“She take my money when I’m in need
Yeah she’s a trifling friend indeed
Oh she’s a gold digger way over town
That dig’s on me” – Kanye West

Coming through my life, 
swinging that pick.

Asking for things,

dropping hints.

All I want is company,

your hard as flint.

A touch from you,

you use it.

When digging that gold,

your so resilient.
