    Dear Lady

    I brought you everywhere
    heart racing beauty and your
    razor wit, ravaging you in
    dark places seen only by mirrors

    But
    Now we go nowhere
    goldfish in an unquenchable bowl
    looking at the spinning clock
    through a furtive window and

    raging until the angry shafts of light
    cut through blinds scorching
    regrets and sworn goodbyes
    too deep, too fast
    a damn mistake for

    you are shallow as dust
    on a table railing against reason
    taking gold with your straw man soul

    What pressure you put my blood under!
    But my heart has charged and
    I have cut your credit cards.

    Oozing with raw emotion ... the imagery is outstanding.

    Wonderful indeed!
    Enjoyed your poem immensely, Tony!
