Thatched Sunflower Ceilings



Off in a place

with walls of secret words

carpeted in sheets of moonstone

and a ceiling of thatched sunflowers

resides a girl.


This is not a place

for an ordinary girl,

who parties till midnight

and runs off with boyish men;

no, no, no.

So she is not an ordinary girl,

who acts then speaks.


In fact, for being

a red head she hardly speaks

at all. She has crystal blue eyes,

and the body of a ballerina;

though she has never been athletic.


And in this place

she hides.


Away from the chaos

of family or friends,

away from the pain

of broken hearts and

lost wishes.


Her voice is strong

though her will is weak.

People take her for granted

and leave her on the street.


But this place is hers,

to weep and to think.

Too bad I am her and

it is in my head...
