Translucent Epiphany

Translucent Epiphany ‘Kismet’ he thought ‘What nonsense please smooch my elbow for real’ He had no time for Karma as things are what they are without coincidence Only believed in solutions for problems and none of that psychic garble No slips of compunction no Higher Power no confidence in contemplation When he tripped his fuse on life’s vagaries and fell down an obvious sinkhole He stumbled hit rock bottom and fractured his Ego and arm in so many places She threw him a rope made of silken dreams woven with innocent thread for his Veiled blinkers to disentangle when her Kiss Met his virginal lips through the light 04th July 2018 8 lines of Fate contest

I know original and unique are synonyms but my spontaneous adrenaline rush over your write simply doesn't care. My joy and delight took me here deliberately, I'm thinking. All the best ... CayCay
