Helen
by Vikki OwensI want to be the face
of an armada,
ten-thousand ships at my finger-tips,
across the sea of my glassy
belladonna stare.
I want to be the reason for attack,
my lips to kiss bon voyage
to a navy, sails unfurled at my beck and call.
All for my hand in marriage. 10/21/2005 Posted on 10/21/2005
