Her Red Glasses: A Poem

The strongest words are born from lust,
the strongest men from deed
but it's my own heartbroken mumbling
that keeps the master in his feed

he comes by day,
takes fears away
but nighttime lets them breed

The strongest scotch
or lemonade
would neither dull my pain
the master speaks, and all obey
his words morbid and deranged

my self esteem,
by cardinal's call
falls swiftly down the drain

he asks the young to take his hand,
the actress plays her part
but she's no marvel, for indeed

with a thickening of the heart
I realize all my love and pride
was empty from the start

and listen well, my words are true
heed the sorrow on my face
"it takes no art to make one believe
what one wants to be the case"
