KAMIKAZE

You are too intoxicated

By the allure

Of self-graciousness

All the compliments

Both true and untrue

The myriad anecdotes

That I whispered 

Into your corked ear

You let them ride

Up the elevator 

To that place in your head

Putting you in earnest

On that A team

While you resided

Comfortably on that reverie

Basking ignorantly

In the light of a day-dream

Standing blameless

On that magnificent pedestal

Using it as a scope

To look down on me

While you forget the power

Of invincible inner beauty

A gem

An invaluable treasure

Letting beauty destroy you

In the footsteps of Cleopatra
