For Norma Jean

Norma Jean, or as she was more commonly known; Marilyn Monroe, was a beautiful soul and couldn't see how beautiful she really was. This is for her.

A beauty like no other;
Hair of gold,
eyes of blue:
an earthly Goddess.
But inside
that elegant shell,
a soul of broken
insecurities and
depression lays in
wait, hoping for
another to cleanse
her spirit and hold
her close in
love's warm embrace.

Married three times,
divorced just as many.
But always alone,
in her overwrought mind
as she desperately strives
to be the best,
most memorable woman.

Oh, sweet Norma, how I adore
you and not for your looks, but
for the broken beauty of your
soul; hidden behind the shining
happiness in your sapphire eyes.
