Last night
She slipped her bare feet
Into her trademark cowboy boots
Went to a party
Full of women
Talking about
The life they wished they were living
She walked around
Drinking wine
Wishing for whiskey
Eating the chocolate frosting
Off vanilla cupcakes
Caught a glimpse of herself
In a full length mirror
And couldn’t help but smile
She’s a beautiful disaster
Of her own kind
In tattered jeans
Tucked into well worn boots
The only woman wearing a shirt
That showed off her strength
Bare arms
Muscles shining
From jasmine and coconut oil
Her lips were red and glossy
Eyes were bright and shiny
She stared a little longer
Just to be sure
Yeah,that’s her
She broke the rules
Kicked expectations to the curb
Went out on her own
Found that she could
Do so much more
She never really doubted
That she could
She always knew full well
What she was capable of
She only pretended to be naive and innocent
She was not the type to stand around
Waiting on things to be just right
That’s not her way
One bit at all
Never been all that tame
Or cared too much
Of what others would think
She knows that
One or two
Maybe three or four
Will love her anyway
And that’s all it takes
She took one more sip
Grabbed another cupcake
With chocolate frosting
Kissed her woman friend
Right on the lips
And walked out the door
Into the cold night
A beautiful disaster
Unleashed
Somewhere in Texas
Living her own kinda life.

Bring it on, Randy E Welch!

Beautiful Disaster
She’s A Soft
Deadly Creature
Who Likes Whiskey
Cup Cakes
And Tattered Fishnets
Timid And Terrifying
She’s Completely
Out Of Control
She Has No Idea
What She’s Capable Of
And Even Though
She Seems
So Foreign To Me
I Can’t Help
Being Fascinated
By Her Boisterous Serenity
I’m Enchanted
By Her Pretend-Innocence
Jealous Of The Power
She Wields
I Want So Much
To Be Part Of Her World
I Want To Know
What It’s Like
To Be In Her Mind
To Feel What She Feels
A Tremendous
Weight To Carry
And She Carries It
Oh So Well…
She’s Out There
Somewhere
Unleashed
On Society…
An Utterly
Beautiful Disaster…
