,POETRY - MISCELLANEOUS


Rose Mary

Magnetic beauty, assured eloquence, oozing real class,
That engendered endemic laziness, precipitating selfish and manic behaviour.
A born actress, unrecognized professionally, but incomparable in reality,
To everyone’s detriment around her, for her motives were not pure.
Inherent laziness, dissipating unrecognized talent, in games of control,
A woman, who even beyond her prime, could silence a room by an entrance.
Even in conflict possessed no malice, was never seen to lost her temper,
But a child with deep fears, that at times unbalanced behaviour,
By misreading people’s motives and actions, responding in an over sensitive manner.
A woman of intelligence and education, a free spirit and liberated woman,
Without prejudice and dogma, with blind loyalty to her kin.
But sometimes so stupid and blind, dangerous in blinkered impassioned foolhardiness,
Hypocritical in selfish greed and morality, an egotistical and dictatorial leader.
Emanating from high class, stooping so low without a blink,
Scarred war baby and child, bombings and burnings indelibly printed.
The theatre and boards her profession, a catholic high school education,
A true bohemian by nature, rebellious frolics sowing many seeds.
But of such stunning class, unfathomably marrying the most obnoxious buffoon.
An enigma and paradox, a true Gemini by nature and temperament,
Who did not learn her life’s lessons and balance the opposite poles of her nature.
