Marilyn

"Fame is Fickle" as Quoted by Marilyn

Marilyn

 

“I wanna be loved by you” was all she ever craved.

She sang” Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” with such gusto and zest.

Then came” Happy Birthday Mr. President", ironically announced as the” Late Marilyn Monroe”,

Weakening, struggling, and diminishing before our very eyes.

Inside she was dying, crying out, holding on for dear life,

But someone got to her in the end.

No one seemed to hear her cry........

Such a shame, so many people chose to walk on by.

There are many "Marilyns" in life...Turns out no one notices them either. Too many times eyes look only out of their corners or too the ground and away from the inner pain sensed... Perhaps the mirror of our own reflections in those eyes reveals more than many are capable or willing to admit. This piece brings something into the far far greater than the irony of a wasted life. One love, one life...

Thank you for this poem. I forget sometimes what she truly was. I remember hearing on the car radio hat she was dead, and I cried...

Now I'm a big Marilyn fan. And what I will say is that this is a hell of a lot better than that dross Elton John blurted out. A simple and straightforward poem, with some lovely turns of phrase and a wholly appropriate font. As a poem? What would I know. I'm a hack. As a joy to read...it was
