Puppet Master.

Puppet Master.

I see that you've found 
your new pretty face. 
Is it porcelain and crystalline like mine? 
Does it rattle when your fingers tap? 
Will you paint the lips crimson and 
Pierce into the skull with jewels? 
You can't teach ceramic
To love a hand of stone. 
Be aware, it might shatter,
Before you get to play with it, 
Or perhaps come to life
And the show shall turn around.

Dear Poet Sister UMAIMA!!
Your creativity and ability to choose unique/ original subject matter makes your gift of words shine!!...... the powerful metaphor/analogy of the puppet and its ensuing abuse stands up profoundly to scrutiny ~

Warm and peaceful.
A curtain of gold silk
