fifty plus shades of gray matter
lobbying showy words agonize

She seemed restless
Their gilded cage of love
That she had begged him
To imprison her in

To my place of sanctified worship

I stare at my mirror
So shocked by what I see
There is a strange woman
Staring right back at me

in the gentle
breeze that wafts
across the empty

A tardy few...

Looking for another feed.
As Pandanus abound frequently,
Summer...
