Ramblings Of A Red Monkey


My life's been huge,

still wondering

what I'll be when I grow up.


Still looking for that elusive

silver ring,

and it's my party,

all I want is an exit door.


I'm no rainbow colored fairy

sitting on a soft shade lotus blossom.

No Cleopatra reclining on my bed,

waiting for my man.


I'm the red monkey sitting

on a cliffs edge,

pounding hollow chest,

screeching about unrighteousness.


The chick that wishes

she had a cave all her own.

Losing balance a little more

each day.




A River


Can't stop looking at your picture,

hypnotized.

Your beauty a blaze from within.

The attraction would

not be there if it were not

for the essence you offer.


A cool drink for a parched soul.


A lake gathering fresh waters

of wisdom

from the flow of your river.

Mesmerized, captured, infatuated.

I want to drink you,

because,

a lake refuses no river.
