The Older Me

One day,
When I am older
I will sip
From a champagne glass
And then wipe the stain
My lipstick has made
Off the rim
With my thumb

When I am older,
I will break the hearts
Of many adoring men
And stroke their hair
In the dim light
Of the candles
By the bed
Oh, they all meant nothing

When I am older,
I will silence a room
With the curves and
scoops of my
Womanly body
Swaying gracefully
And suggestively
Across a room

Each pair of eyes
Fixed on
Me

Fleeting as a bird, you looked at me.

I love this!!! Fantastic flow, and what sounds like a young girl's crazy ideal of adulthood! Fab πŸ˜‰

It's kinda sexy in some strange way. Women who know their way, in any case this was a piece definitely worth reading.β˜ΊπŸ‘

When you are older ??? You already cast an air of poetic greatness in this 'room' ... ;)

You are a great writer. And by that I mean 'Great.' I have the feeling one day that you might be in anthologies. One to watch, ladies and gents.
