Laura Way

His body perfect, his suit well-tailored and sleek,
His soft lips at my neck, my forehead, my cheek.

Him in his suit and me in my dress and corset,
...

I felt perfectly at peace.
The sun was shining down on my face.
Lying on my back with the grass towering above me.
I got up and continued walking among the perfumed flowers and the beautiful butterflies.
...

Flying high in the sky,
as lonely as can be.

Flying high in the sky,
...

...

The dress is picked out.
My make-up is done.
But still an hour to go
...

Icicles hanging from the window ledge, like jack frost’s crown.

Trees swaying in the frosty breeze, like old skeletons chattering.
...

Cameras flashing everywhere they go.
Everyone looks to them.
Loved by most but not by all.
Exciting lives.
...

Autumn days, when the grass is jewelled
And the silk inside a chestnut shell
Jet planes meeting in the air to be refuelled
All these things I love so well
...

Autumn is when,
Leaves all turn shades of brown and flutter down from the trees.

Autumn is when,
...

Howling at the full moon.

The agony of transforming, human to wolf.
...
