Hazy Veil Of Women Three
The future
no direction no goal no thought
became a hazy veil of women three
a simple choice don't linger
to be made taken decided fed
when I peered
through the haze of years ahead
I witnessed them laying in their own made bed
woman one
crying alone
for nobody cares for the careless
she cared less
falling tears
touched the earth slowly
and quickly splintered into a zillion night stars
scattered
although she tried
her tears didn't gather
pathetic desperate scrambles
no reward - impeach - in vain
too many
too scattered
no centre
all pain
and she floated with the ground always just out of reach.
woman two cried alone
but her tears collected in a puddle of her own
her reflection warped and wobbled
but did not displease her
for she felt nothing
long ago dreams were set sailing
softly hiding in a gondola wailing
like John's Ophelia she kissed her finger prints and blew them away.
woman three
wailed patiently
snatching at love when it burst through ice
crying tears through laughter
her choices are life's device
dreams wriggled in her pockets
in their turn she set them free
love squealed in painful delight
longed for sensations crashing foundries
lamentations bowl over boundaries
and fear underpins them all.
and when I look at you my love
what do I see?
we brought a hazy veil down of women three
and now the separation
pains me.
