She sits there,
An apple in her hand,
A mark,
Showing her pleasure,
Her delight
Her mouth,
Wide open,
Her pearly whites,
Glaring,
Staring you down,
Forcing you to your knees,
Her tender red lips,
Sucking you in,
Tasting,
Anticipating,
You quiver,
You shiver,
Her eyes,
Hiding behind that invisible wall,
Scouring,
Searching,
Luring,
You in,
Her rosy brown cheeks,
Her crisp brown hair,
Flowing back in the wind,
Reaching,
Catching,
Even from behind,
She is the sun,
And you are the earth,
Rotating,
Spinning,
Round,
And round,
Those special curves,
That unique smell,
Send you to your heaven,
Where,
She awaits,
Greeting you,
With her fabulous….

Sleepiness,
Has no boundaries,
Wakefulness has no fences,
Nothing to keep her in,
Nothing to keep her out,
Nothing to hold her,
Nothing to keep her,
Except,
The confines of her mind,
She lies awake,
In her office chair,
Digits,
Words,
Flash across the screen,
Yet,
She is not there,
She sits on her bed,
Not ready to rest her bed,
Yesterday,
Relives itself in her head,
The now,
Disappears,
Down her black hole,
Tomorrow,
Becomes her reality,
All within her head,
She walks to the bus,
Counting the steps
As she goes,
Her nose,
Dripping down,
Following,
That trail of ants,
Marching,
Head to toe,
Following them,
Wondering,
Where it is exactly that they go,
Her eyes,
Climb for the skies,
She picks up her pencil,
Joining the dots,
Sketching,
Yet not colouring in,
That picture,
The stars,
Descend upon her.

Home is where the heart is,
And the heart,
Is where it knows best,
Red,
Or blue,
Or black,
Or purple,
Or yellow,
Or blue,
She can,
She can sing a rainbow too,
Ancient old people,
Are works of art,
Modern young people,
Are clay,
To be moulded into,
Something great,
History,
And country,
Are mixed,
And matched,
Belonging,
Together,
As she does with her family,
Traditions,
Are there for that reason,
To keep her grounded,
Her feet firmly planted,
She loves it,
She loves
Her history,
Her country,
Her traditions,
Her family,
She loves it,
She loves them,
Giving her nutrients,
Giving her growth,
Her feet,
Her roots,
Taking them all up,
Extending,
Expanding,
Into every cell,
Into every part,
Of her body,
Giving her life,
Giving her reasons,
To live,
Giving her more,
Than just that,
Dirt brown floor.
