~ Poppy ~
Poppy is no Angel,
for every 20 minutes*
a Lover succumbs
to her overpowering charms.
Rendered Breathless forever
as they dream of other places;
some chose an Escape from reality,
while for others it was a mistake.
Either way, Finality.
For them, and seventy others
the new Dawn tomorrow
will rise unseen.
Other Eyes will be moist
as they look on and ask, Why?
Why did Poppy do this to my child,
my lover, my friend?
Why did She lead them so far
down the road to Despair
and what did she offer
that Ensnared them so?
