Almost a Mona

Should we frame it?

They say no and go,

It’s not made of gold,

Only laughter and an

attitude plastered on

a wall.

Oh Goodness!

Let’s frame this beauty,

there’s a woman in

red lips laughing with

a young man and his

tricks.

Strings play around

their speaker surround,

the two barefoot with

one with a bottle in

hand pouring bubbles,

Toast! To this love!

More festivities fall

under four full moons,

friends gather as laughter

never ends with a glass

sipped by a gentleman,

Cheers! To more!

Six years go by as

this painting still hangs,

“How could you lie?!”

She feels like she died,

as he committed a crime

from unspoken words.
