LONE PIERCINGS

Verily, verily, I say unto you

Accepting one’s self in a

Life of love amidst the dances of love

Encompasses discipline and pain of

Never ending ‘what ifs’

Turn around or close your eyes

Invite your ex or sit and cry

No, too hard, will you kill yourself?

Empire of fire for the life of the liar

II

Sufferance!

Under sparks of heart attacks!

Copious irony of never felt or trying to forget

Kill those thoughts and imaginations!

Search or sit

III

If all else falls

Failure is halfway up the ladder

IV

You are just one among many

On this heated platform of passionate bubbles

Under the toaster of envy

A kill within a kill

Rant on or neigh like a horse

Embarrassment might override the thoughts

Search or sit

I say again

Never choose death as a route

Glow, flow or tow

Like the thoughtful one you are

Emancipation lies within and no one knows your tomorrow
