PUMPKIN SOUP
the slipper dropped
from a dainty foot
said they,
but i think
that foot
was most likely
coarsened
by the hard journey
of a desperate life,
scarred by the burning
heat of the kitchen's
cinder path
the slipper dropped
but the hand within
the matching
shimmering glove
was better suited
to scrubbing an iron
fender than to receiving
the tender kiss
of princely love
the slipper dropped
and the fantasy melted
the crystal shattered
under the hammer blows
of the ticking clock
the slipper dropped
and sinewed arms
lacking the charms
of a velvet-sweetsatin-heat
porcelain maiden's
gathered up
the unravelling drab rags of an hours treasure
the slipper dropped
the mice abandoned
the sinking dream
and she trudged home
alone

20 TO LIFE
Thieves of hearts
And body parts
None of us can spare
Livers and lights
And love-blind eyes
And tinted tresses
Of flowing hair.
Thieves of hearts
And reason leading
To unwise treason
Betrayal of the frail
Bonds of trust
Unwise desires
Watery lust
Corroding rust
Seeping though chinks
Leaching love
From weary hearts
All this and more
I've heard before
So girls heed my advice
Stop up your tears
And lonely fears
Fix that make-up
Close your ears
To snivelling pleas
Put on your
Sharpest heels
And kick
The bastard out

Once we stop fighting and yield to magic every step takes us closer to who we were meant to be, and to where we should have been had we not so stubbornly - or cowardly - turned away from that path.
