LATE NIGHT CINDERELLA

I painted you a pretty picture

again, she says with pride

A lovely portrait, a beauty

her chin up, eyes wide

Your Michaelangelo, your covergirl,

queen of your guilty dreams

She showers you in exquisite warmth

as she polishes her golden wings

Lover, again, just one time more

keep her in your dark eyed gaze

The dawn is on it's steady path

This picture too soon will fade

She's your late-night Cinderella

futility, it plagues her fight

restrained by the duality

as her crystal dreams take flight

Withering canvas, sepia tones

colors fade to none

the dreams of yesterday are sold

over, finished...done

Lover, again, just one time more

keep her in your dark eyed gaze

The dawn is on it's steady path

This picture too soon will fade

I painted you a pretty picture

again, she says with pride...

shame the one from yesterday

apparently had lied.

I hadn't written in a long time and suddenly felt like putting pen to paper. THis is the culmination of approximately 3 hours of brainstorming, writing and revising - yesterday. Not a long drawn out process...just a whim really.
