1.
One For The Road

Untainted bliss
Infinite ebullience
There are no words
To convey happiness
...

2.
Chrysalis

Incongruous creeper of star crossed fate
Muted dreamer with a living to tolerate
Swanking too compensate the lack of luster
A sycophantic wish delivering a note of disaster

A violent warmth searing with a covert scheme
His eyes –thick and black like oil, combustible
Piercing with stern vigilance, probing with scrutiny

10.
