hunger
Fire burning, never ending,
pieces glowing, plane no more.
Gone the pilot, and co-pilot,
they were lucky, burnt to ore.
Then the feisty, oh so feisty,
but yet filling, portly miss.
Keeping her and me quite healthy,
me and lovely baroness.
Eyes such beauty, lips so fruity,
hair so curly, kisses sweet.
Dare I say I found my true love,
amidst the wreckage, near my seat.
Hands are holding, bodies twirling,
midnite dancing, cheek to cheek.
Underneath the frozen moonlight,
our outlook, much too bleak.
Stomachs growling, nearly fainting,
food we need, weight to gain.
No one left to ease the hunger,
no one left to ease the pain.
Off to sleep now, gentle whispers,
quiet prayers, sing her song.
Cradled in my arms so sweetly,
rocking gently, we belong.
Stomach roaring, eyes are blurring,
hands are folded, empty dress,
that she once wore, sleek and trendy,
on my tasty baroness.
