The strain is real and yet
No cracks, I see
The scalding marks, the flaking paint
I turn as I burn,
Glowing white in fiery flame
The tongs and vice, they hold
Me firm as hammer falls again
With each blow,
I do not break
I do not break
I do not break
But I am not, the same [o]

Wardrobe Malfunction 202101311732
Technically, it was…
A pair of misbehaving new socks…
A new pair of misbehaving socks…
A misbehaving pair of new socks…
A new misbehaving pair of socks…
Anyway, the socks sucked!
So I shall make a fresh attempt this evening
With fresh socks [o]
The Midday Sun 201905091449
Across the tamed sea
Shimmering glass and stone hewn
Palpable heat of fiery sun
Blazes through the overcast sky
The wavelets lap the moss-covered slabs
A gentle breeze blows
My eyes I close and yet
I burn [o]
The End, Beginning 201906232133
The fading evening sky hides
The blur of moving trees
In the distance, bright points of light
Like diamonds gleam
Through the tunnel, a rushing sound
A city and appears and then it is gone
Without a trace
My chair travels fast without moving
The minutes pass with every mile
The end is our beginning [o]
Psyche, Drama Queen 201812311010
Must I suffer for my beauty?
Sometimes it is all too much!
Abandoned by my lover, Cupid
Tasked with never-ending tasks
Sinking now beneath the waters
Is there no one who will save me?
Psyche, drama queen in art [o]
