The morning came with coffee
and a sack of mute replies
Voices rasped with consternation,
pity in each other's eyes
They'd make safe conversation
as shouts battered the hotel
A heroine in satin sheets
and vast chaotic shell
The night before when neon
lit the contours of her shape
And flashes flattered every inch
of common man's escape
Kisses talking loudly
on her beautiful behalf
Left the same simplistic yearning,
cigarette and autograph

... U r awesome ... Poet Helena ... Aaawesooome ... Love, cat.
it may be a common escape...and yet its earthy and permanent. Like sitting around the fire. Too hot to keep but...so nice to spend the nights with.
This is beautifully written....this line in particular is so poignant....."A heroine in satin sheets
and vast chaotic shell."
The morning after..very nice! Not many people writing this time around. You changed your website I like it.
Wow. Loved it. Well written :)
Kisses talking loudly...indeed!
