stirred me from my crimson sheets-
                           kissed my scarlet lips

 when air-brushed stars croon..
my soul sways, tied to the moon
lost in twinkling tune

seeking for rose light
from plum reveries tonight~
questioning twilight..

because I have two left feet
hard to find partner

I watch you dancing
it seems you have two right feet

made for each other

no limitations...

your grandchildren'

his baby daughter
tossed aside like a rag doll
dad wanted a son

my mother told him
that I was ‘the next best thing’
at least she loved me!

always second best
but useful with garden chores
I can milk a goat!

unwanted... unloved
no father daughter closeness
I do not miss him

since he passed away
