Listen to poem:
Disrobing Ego
Eyes wove robes from shared admiration.
Each gaze embroidered yet more shining threads.
Wonder strode down the fashion's catwalk,
Perfectly poised, utterly debonair.
Beauty fashioned the glittering robes.
Pain stitched up the sleeve of seams.
Pleasure pressed the starched collars flat.
Pride applauded the flawless perfect fit.
Then, one by one, every eye looked away.
The robes dissolved as gazes fell away.
The couturier dethroned, stood naked and alone.
Nothing had ever clothed his candle light.
