I Knew You Once

I knew you once

When you were saturated in grandeur

And soared on an elevated throne

The astounding girl next door

With a freckled face

Now I can see you, chipped nails and rouge

We calmed sexual frustration

And gaped at Cezanne

You spewed love like fire

From your intrinsic womb

I was anchored to your foundations

I would sail to you swiftly

With no sense of wrong doing

Now dusk falls on enlighten roads

Unlike them roads, I am full of absence

Motors hiss on my frames

As I smell my pillow sheets

Where the absence is cemented

◄ Ode to Hofmann

Lady Of The Night ►

Glad you understand it Janet! I think I wrote this in the theory of the absence of someone I knew once and how they can change in such little time!

That's the trouble when we put people on pedestals. They tend to fall off.
Sorry if my comment appears flippant but it seems apt for this poem.
Love Janet.x
