A youngster, humpbacked with wisdom, and an old man, burning with love, both of them, commuting to work on a subway, see a lot of interesting people: a budding manager with a red-hot lightning instead of his tiepin; a public toilet's volunteer; a ballerina, sleepy and yawning like a mermaid on ice as well as lobsters and other crustaceans too. I don't commute, ergo, I see nobody and sublimate my social life in the commentaries to Poertrysoup.
Here we have an illustration of the deficiencies of a freelancer's lifestyle.
English Sonnet
A speck of dust had life breathed into it
A willing volunteer a soul of love
Conceived of lust, love, trust and light spirit
Trip impossible without God above
Arrival endured treacherous journey
Brilliant light at the end of the tunnel
Caressing arms, warm milk, silk skin and free
Adapting to life after the funnel
Boundless beauty was gladly encountered
Hardships too whittled the befuddled soul
Spit your heart out and purposely devoured
Changes you didn't seek a small black hole
When the mission was accomplished and ceased
Sweet Surrender your last breath was released
Tell me friend
How best to paint a woman
Brilliantly colourful and extremely fastidious
Who is an African princess
Blending aggression with femininity
And radiates grace, charm and suppleness
The marks of womanhood
A woman who bathes in array of candlelight
With an usual candour for candle-la-bra
Chatty, cheery, and pardonably cheeky
Materialistic, Modern, and Maiden
Exuberant, Extrovert
Rosy and Rounded
Opinionated and Opportunistic
Meticulous and
Annoyingly Anorak
A woman who is gorgeously trendy
A wonderful volunteer, a touching friend
With big searching eyes
Talk about the lady also known as
MEROMA.
