A Writer Extraordinaire… Equally Balancing Both Sides Of Life’s Coin

by Paul Tristram / September 17th, 2023

I know I say “Oops!”
but, my [Merciless]
… SMASHING…
of Paradigms
is a Deliberate
Act of ‘Sabotage’.
I stopped
all ‘Retreads’
upon my very last
[Spiritual]
tree ring groWTH.
Your eyes quiver
[Slightly] when
angered… that’s
the Sexiest
part of your body.
If I ‘Cared’…
I would un-kiss
you from
the bumpy road
behind me… ta-ra.
2 cygnets
finding their way
… back to
underwing warmth
… and the feeling
of walking
the right way out
of a Prison Gate
… COMBINED…
kinda describes
… this brand new
blossoming Freedom.
