Poetry Anthology Preview (2): "Princessa"

Another poem from my upcoming anthology: "The Art of Poetry"

Princessa

© 2011 by A. Dameron

Hold up your head like an empress,

Make you manner that of a queen.

Smile, but show not your teeth.

Disarm both your friends and your enemies,

And reflect what they see in the mirrors of your eyes.

Your tears drip like honey

And stab like daggers.

Mesmerize, analyze,

Then attack.
