SHE Was HIS Anyhow

HE was never hers

SHE Was HIS Anyhow

No other voice had shivered her nerves

No other roared air had conquered her ears

Ever before

Or even after

Never on earth

Not outside of her dream anyhow

***

SHE was HIS or not SHE

HE was never hers

But was HE anyhow

***

He-man was everything

Only the voice was hers

Only the voice seemed to balance love and hatred

Sweet and tragedy

But still couldn’t predict the shed tears

Warm them wild

Dry them sweet

or has them taste even sweeter

***

SHE was HIS or not SHE

HE was never hers

But was HE anyhow

***

Her artistic ears learnt the alternations

But loved them all anyhow

They loved them, as they learnt them

She wasn’t guilty

Though they were

Cause the sadistic sounds easily amazed them

As eccentric as those were

As high was the ecstasy

SHE rapidly became HIS

But have never gone back SHE

***

SHE was HIS or not SHE

HE was never hers

But was HE anyhow

***

Guilty?

Who wasn’t?

Somedays he laughed but should cry

And his mind thought

Only HIS was guilty

He never was

And would never be

***

SHE was HIS or not SHE

HE was never hers

But was HE anyhow

***

His stinging voice always penetrated this smooth heart

And carefully spited it into small pieces once

While these eyes were falling like warm colored leaves

He packed them in his pocket

And ran away with them

So was her life away
