Upward Draft

Upward Draft

A Poem by Veronica Chandler

Just blowing off steam now and shifting gears.

Swirling about on an upward draft

Breaking apart the dense apparel

Light body writhing to break free

Leaving stilettos in my wake

And idiots with the crass

To squirm in the grass

A snake and worm

Do cringe with truth

Licking lips in predation

Truth comes to inundate all

Flood rushing in so vibrant and blue

Makes the twilight bright and fills the void

Left by the two, the snake and the worm

They squirm with chagrin at another’s true joy

Go ahead on home I don’t want your toy only my joy

Swirling about on an upward draft

I lift my glass and toast your game

Now back to my sweet and love

Back to the peace of my dove

Vibrant alive a head on high

Lifting all who want life up

To more than mortals be

More than boredom

More than you see

More than before

Light body grows

Breaking apart

Stereotypes

Kudo's on the structure of this one...........excellent piece. I happen to adore the image you used as it is the same one I used long ago on a poem I wrote for my Anam Cara in Greece. Beautiful!
