smell the roses

by Michele Schottelkorb

monotonous tones have set up camp here
in my daily ritualistic mode
 
I waft in and out
of consciousness
 
dreaming of purple castles and playa dust
genius babies and loving lust
gothic music and beach front kisses
velvet skies and attainable wishes
piercing eyes and gentle hand
precious life and forgotten sands
 
yet,
I focus on
the insanely trivial things in life
 
get over it, woman-child
(wake up and smell the roses)

Author's Note: my derriere is planted firmly on the ground... (i know this as i can feel the brick)... so why in the world is my head in the clouds?

this seems to speak to each individual, its unusual beat, rhythm and rhyme schemes and adding too to what is already pleasurable its wit and wisdom imbued with soft melancholy.
