Sun Rays

Highlight his allusions

Seizing his artful way

Thoughts play havoc

Rewriting predictions

Crafted during his heyday

An art form out of luck

An ego garnished in pain

Beneath a burnished sky

Another fornicating day

Elusive unable to ascertain

Losing his vision's eye

Recasting his screenplay

Unable to fully justify
Self-pity offers escape

Amid gossip's foul play
A waiting memento mori 
Encrypts his mindscape
Altering again his endplay

While his heart cry's out
Against incoming frauds
Fathoming a better way
Realizing maybe a way out
Re-shuffling Fate's odds
Hanging on a sunny day.

Suspended

In the middle of the day

Standing in front of a glass

Mirror, looking deep into

Her dreams passageway

Illusions abound playfully

Shadows creep across her

Lucid dreams desires, she

Inhales inward, in no hurry

A condescending serpentine

Whispers across her dream's

Promise, vanguard rainbows

Dodging many a fatal scene

A picture window shielding

Her every naked conception

A kindred porthole set a fire

Her breath and heart reuniting.
