Blossoming bombastically

She thrives in chatter

Generously sprinkled

with judgments and

embellished tall.

Words, smooth talked,

pleas and threats

delivered in a monotone

With ominous audacity.

Twisting arms, guised

as a helping hand

albeit allegorically

in self-seeking manner.

Entertainment,

Outwardly innocuous

Is sought, turns into

malicious maligning.

Conscientious, Otherwise

There’s always the

Overlap, never black

nor white. Forever gray.

Frozen in time

Frozen in time, that’s how I’d like

My loved ones and my tyke

The rational knows the finality

But the heart craves immortality

The ticking clock stops for none

The countdown has probably begun

I can see how it transpires

In death, there is no despair.

A forgone conclusion. Sans legacy

one is forgotten in cecity.

Destiny that is deemed mine

In anonymity, is enshrined.

Never more

Never more shall you

Holler out my name

Just to seek acquiesce

Of your already set plans

Never more will be the calls

At the exact moment

That’s right. just to pull a

Mini verbal con, ending in climax

Never more a juicy

Tale of gossip will I hear

While you provide the added

Embellishments in jest

Never more will I see

A sliver of smile breaking

The cloud of suffering –

Because there isn’t any left.
