Lotus

Lotus

A Poem by Siddartha Beth Pierce

Pods of luck

from my caribbean romp

and then again another

from the Frenchie in NYC

where I wrote upon the wall:

'Tu es moi demain'

and begged for candles

in France-

the true romantic that I am.

 

Perhaps the walls of

the train of Aristotilian logic

were speaking to me

where there was victory

and that ain't so easy to accomplish-

we drew a line

it was the color 'Yellow'.

 

In any case,

doe-eyed one

why did they say,

'I have never seen HIM

dressed up like that?'

With a pen around my neck.

 

Who wins the star for

proving that souls exist

only those of us who have faith

will make it to those

pearly gates.

 

Not yet though

five years later

and here we stay

our path is one of wisdom still

to teach our children

we must work for peace here on Earth

and protect them always

a modest proposal from me to you

now sleep dear ones

while-

I watch over you.
