In performed rendition

By the child prodigy

A solo concert on pianoforte

Amidst deafening silence

Of lone parent, panel of music

Discerning aficionados

~~

stillborn moments

wonder of caught breath
in pregnant throes
whither or wither!
~binaspeak

On own palm’s lifted line of heart

Reeled in by thieving eyes’ art

Heart crept to mouth

In nocturnal shock

Slo-mo dreamy moves

Became furious salsa blurs

To keep up with racing pulse

Saucer eyed- cracked open door

Saw neighbor’s tipsy guest on tiptoe

Weaving now towards proper floor

Got back under warm coverlets

Conjured McDreamy for another visit

Alas, love’s hostage had already fled…

to tingling finger tips

Captive thoughts penned

Labored on keys to mind’s prods

Dressed in words-  immaculate docs.

Pièce de résistance thus conceived

Rosaries of thoughts

Ephemeral, startling

Transformed into poem leis

Habit

Inhabits

As habits

Good and bad

Turning me into a habitual

Lounge lizard inhabiting my active self now eclipsed

By these indolent crazy habits of mine habitually inhabiting me in complete takeover

Making me a habitual couch potato lumpy dumpy humpty dumpty primed for rude awakening post bad habits instigated horrific painful downfall

Constantly in pain due to bad habits that have made me so overweight that am unable to wear my designer habits

I’ve finally decided to molt discarding these bad habits and grow new skin

Regaining my former becoming self shorn of chaff

Kernel healthy lean mean active

Vibrant alive cheerful

Sharing joy

joyously

lovingly

silver toys

doting nanny

childhood’s decoy

exotic orchid

blue veined

hothouse life

rosy panes

unworldly perspective

imperfect warped

conditioned doll

primed for a fall

red carpeted debutante ball

Daddy’s gal went for a fall

landing in arms of stranger tall

a charming rake on the make

storybook defiance

foolish alliance, severed kin

inheritance as she faced, bereft

love’s downfall when rake up n left

reality’s cold water douche

broke sleeping beauty’s thrall

gathering somnolent wits, decided

To show world, make own destiny

Taking stock of own true worth

Beauty, brains, slim wherewithal

pawned valuable baubles to finance

Own upper drawer finishing school

Chance encounter with an old friend

rescued from last straw, broken back

couple of rough diamonds came inside

determined beauty optimistically  began

molding shaping chiding cajoling

scolding then weepy in arms folding

gradually rough diamonds took shape

their shiny patinas readied for display

Her witty creative mind scripted

A topical socio-comical stage play

To showcase finished “products”

In best possible flattering way

Carefully cultivated, chosen guests

Trooped in for an eclectic evening

Choice hors d’oeuvres and wine

Prepping for unusual evening fine

Graceful moves perfect pirouettes

Honed mannerisms voice delivery

Comical timing and witty repartee

Had audience frequently in stitches

Play was a hit as was finishing school

The privileged fallen from grace lady

Had arrived by dint of own grit, pride

Showing fate she could call own shots

Grieving parents aging grandparents

Finally came around and bore her home

She basked in their love revisiting past

Then left for home n bed of own making

Out of juice

Winter’s maw drools

Copiously partaken red wine

From grapes rigorously trampled

Inside us, gleefully topples

Ruffled free range poultry

“Hatches” purloined eggs

Yellow yolks clog thieving arteries

Drab grey winter days

Inky black night skies

Dreams riot in colors

Brown Java Joe beans ground

Aromatic percolated brewed

Rev sluggish veins run aground

Reinvented

Aired out

Tinted

Tippled

Dimpled

Wrinkled

Glossed

Unvarnished

Life’s ravages

Proudly
