Red High Heels



I am not what you think
but what you desire

I pleasure myself
consumed in this fire

I have stripped for the single
to which I have owned
and taken the scores
of The Countless
The Known

As I watch the forgiveness fall to the Me's
I tried not to hide my screams that please

For times to change and wet does seal
Myself is true
In these
Red High Heels

Cheryl Newton

I have been seriously writing poetry since I was in my early twenties. I am 38 now. I write in my down time. By day I am a busy oncology nurse. At night I turn into a delicious poetress."Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.” ~AristotleThis is only a very small selection of my poems. I have written over 100 (and counting) Love that there is such a great venue as this for those of us who are so creative. =) POETS ROCK! more…
