PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

fragile beauty
shuttering star
pale ingenue
glittering off from so far
with complexion like alabaster
and supple curves flowing with grace
she was what she was
a Godsend to a beauty lost race
such a delicate malnourished life
so unbalanced and battered by notoriety
and transitional favor
a searing bundle of needs
so unapologetically sucked in
by the power
the glitz and vigor
the key players
so overwhelmingly polluted themselves
by politics and crime
along with the gross misconduct of greed and lust
sex and subterfuge
all elements posed to her hungry tiny bird heart
as love, acceptance and a suitor's awe
she was shamefully discovered
drown by barbiturates
lain bare in her own bedroom
a deliberate jab at her fame no doubt
planned to humiliate her even further in death
draped across one of many symbols of her fame
a disheveled bed
a sex starlet's sensuous flame
curtly extinguished
then promptly fed to the media
a fresh piece of meat
for the most ravenous of the ravenous to devour
and yet beyond that expected ugliness that came
still the world mourned for what she gave
she wasn't just blond and beautiful
she was gentleness and humor in a lovely,
lovely frame
her legend rose above the seediness of
her forced death
her heartless killers went on
business as usual
but unbeknownst to them
they stole far more from the world
than could ever be reclaimed
they stole innocence and magic
ah but thanks to her
the world got to taste her vibrant
and child like whimsy
and be introduced to loveliness incarnate
all in but one
most memorable name
Marilyn Monroe
you are mistress to countless memories
and to 'The Farthest Truth'
this we will proclaim.......
