Vanity's Bonfire (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Trouble melts

in the fire of emergency

all reasons in ashes

—the moment ablaze

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

 

 

Fatal Glances

 

Every time you make a new friend,

I make a new enemy

 

Every time you swear that you won’t,

my world falls apart

 

Every time you say it’s the last,

my grief is reborn

 

Every time I look in your eyes

—the future is lost

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

 

 

Fading Mirage

 

A temporary truth

—fleeting denial

 

(Dreamsleep: June)

    This style is very interesting! I wonder what a "dreamsleep" is.
