Fake flimsy plastic and mythology
Sloughing off life’s dead flesh
Shedding’s piled atop shedding’s
Unfulfilled fallen soulless nights
Lost between remorse and desire
Chasm’s exposing depthless hearts
Freeing Pandora’s Box of miseries
Hope’s anticipation floundered wildly
Shaking my youth-filled restless urges
Chance and Fortuity were always on edge
Never knowing God’s planned obsolescence
Only that of Zeus’ vengeance on Prometheus
Where one woman’s salved-skin soothed my fire
Cooling deceptive expectations burning within…
