This poem was originally going to be called “Skinwalker”, then “Shapeshifter”, then “Mary Magdalene”. Unrequited love seems to be my specialty. Check out my poem/song Muse. My writings are rooted in experiences, past and present alike.
Darlene:
What if I had the power…
…to become everything you desire?
…would that stop you from going astray?
…I could be Jane today…Lucy tomorrow.
…Mary this weekend…Magdalene the following.
…afraid that the questions would still arise.
When kissing Kathy, are those my same lips?
When feeling up Emma, are those my same hips?
When inside Darlene, are those my same dips?
…I could be your All-in-One.
…One-and-done.
…They were all supposed to be one-and-done’s.
What if I had the power…
…to become everything you desire?
…would that stop you from going astray?
…I could be Jane today…Lucy tomorrow.
…Mary this weekend…Magdalene the following.
Kathy, Emma & Darlene,
…let’s just stick to dreams.
Keep tending to your gardens.
