oh, foolish boys

seek no further

You boys

In your pernicious gaze

Apathetic of my mind

You glare to the East

Expecting the jovial descent

Of what could have been

Your delicious transcend into

Jupiter,

But I, Hera,

Oh heretic jubilee of the south,

Do I desire your truth

Knees bleeding

In vermouth

Bent down I remember

My first time

When you took from me

All that was pure

Destined to push me

Out the door

Shape shifter

I return

A phoenix by design

I always find

The magic in the core

I will reign

Once more

oh --

You foolish boys

tempting a temptress

You have opened a door

Dearly, indeed

Hope you found

What you were looking for...

oh, foolish boys.

About the Creator

Veronica

I am the moss silken on watered stones, rooted deep in rich soil. Earthen creature, I am the night sky -starry and strayed from the forgotten path of poets - I am, the chatter from the iron rails rattling as the train carries itself home.
