Poor Anastasia T. Dragon, whatever did she do?
Got herself all tangled up, and didn’t have a clue
Met a nice wyvern, whose name was Christian Sway
Ana never knew that things, would ever go this way

Christian had a fetish, seemed he liked to take control
But Ana wanted no part of it, she found it rather droll
So he thought he would teach her, another thing or two
She thought he was crazy, decided to leave, before he knew

Sadly, she didn’t make it, he caught her on the way
“Excuse me, my dear Ana, I think you’d rather stay”
“No thank, my dear Cristian”, she said, so very snarky
“I think you’re full of yourself, more likely, malarkey.”

Christian didn’t like the way Ana spoke to him
Ana didn’t seem to care, which he thought quite grim
She got the best of him, rang him up for sexual harassment
And that’s how it all began, his fifty shades of embarrassment

He invited the ladies to his little soiree
A glass of champagne he had, for all
Dazzling in gold, and silver and black
They were surely the queens of the ball

He was a ladies man, of this, no doubt
None of them could ever to resist him
Except for three ladies, mingling about
They knew the story, ere they kissed him

Money, he’d flash, just to catch their eye
Thought it the way to a woman’s heart
But not all of them, really liked this guy
They, who knew, set themselves apart

They perched themselves, on a table
Smiled, when the others walked by
Watched him, as he played Casanova
Each of the others, he left, with a sigh

But not these three well-dressed beauties
They made a pact, to not become a patsy
Leaving the ball, together, for a night of fun
Seems they couldn’t care less, about Gatsby

Electric mayhem

Ignites the sparks of fire

Amid darkened skies

I tried to read the words
but the water washed them away

Every bit of ink a blur
every letter no different than another

Ripples, and waves of
some other place and time, unknown

I watched them fade into oblivion
taken out with the tide

Perhaps they would return again
perhaps they would not

And how was I to know
without remembering what was

I pondered a bit longer
then finally, I lifted up my glass

Like magic, they reappeared
whole, as if they’d never gone

And yet, the bottom of my glass
knew better, it new the truth

That the words would
someday, fade away, and I with them

A candle lit by the window, burned

She stood there, in contemplation

In the only place, she knew so well

Locked away, she was seeking salvation

From those, who chastised, for naught

She fought hard in the very beginning

Alas, she dared not fight them anymore

There was never a chance of her winning

Where she remained, alone, in her beauty

Kept inside, what they called, a living hell

Most had forgotten why she was there

But, she’d never let them forget, her name was Elle
