Ill at Ease

Infecting the soul

Misery

 cousin of Torment

takes its stranglehold

Antibiotic for Happiness

a bitter pill to swallow

with choking, stifling

and pressure in the chest

Bathing in Apathy

Like a wet sponge

I feel wrung out

Rebound

Does the emotion 

or the physical incarnation

make an easier job of it?

Even a tennis ball

sometimes loses its bounce...

Soft-centred

No more inner-sense

I was a soft landing

for target practice

Now if you crack this egg

you will taste the sulfur

of my fiery heart

Dead Charming

Far from fantastic

it was necessary

for her survival

In her world

nothing was ridiculous

outside -

That's another story...

Dogged Determination

Despite being covered in fur

his face expresses truthfully

more than words ever could

about love.

Never Ending Story

At the beginning

we hungrily devour each page

consume the potential

chapter by chapter

As the end draws near

each page held so dear

Aggrieved about saying goodbye

to all the characters
