trimming the sails

i’ve given
up on perfection
having known
it i don’t
expect lightning to strike twice
so though i never

say never
and love all shades of
blue it’s not
the color
one wants one’s skin to be so
i’m not holding my
breath waiting
for another prince
charming to
to show up
at my door with roses and
and a ring to sweep
me off to
a paradise that
probably
isn’t one
but i wouldn’t mind a smile
and a hand to hold
