A Bit Fractured

Upon attending “Her Requiem”, I felt a bit fractured and nearly insane When a fantasy of golden haze, wearing a shiny “Halo of Grace” Suggested it would be wise to take a “Journey to Spirit Mountain” And maybe chase some butterflies in a “Transformed” state Off I went, “Riding My Whims” into a glaring "Red Sun" morning To my chagrin, “The Goddess of War” struts in with utterly no warning Singing,-Girl you’re looking quite undone, it’s clear you're having no fun Those fractures in the brain are going to require some “Change”- The goddess continued her speech; but to her surprise I rolled my eyes while She sang, -We’ve been invited to imbibe with “The Castaway and the Scribe”- Well, the party was wild, folks drank all night, we all did the “Jive in a Beehive” I downed the “Zin”, as the “Lust” crept in to my shapely “Scarlett” dress, At the end of night I was seen hitching a ride to “Burn” my “Nemesis” "It's All In The Titles" Contest by Adam Hapworth 08/19/2013
