PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

colorful characters

so charismatic

enveloping

the dimly lit room

smoke swirling

amid the music, conversation

and dance

a fractured fray of misfits

together fitting in

creating a self welcoming niche

who could blame such souls

for searching at even the fringes

of society's acceptance

in a darkly lit

velvet red painted brothelesque

abode

I felt their warmth and their wit

and was admitted to a party

where I had no business being

but still

they made me feel welcome

all the same

that was the first bead of their

charm's necklace

what soul could resist

such openness and beauty of

so many cast away selfs..........
