If we’d only look beyond the boundaries
We place in front of ourselves

He walks around, drink in his hand
Jack in his glass, Jill by his side
Likes to make people think he’s the man
Nobody notices, he takes it in stride
Armani tux, bow tie, overdressed
Seems money’s no object, a toy
She wore Versace, no one’s impressed
Still played her part, being coy
A boring affair is never that good
Makes minds start to wander and stare
Across the room, she tipped her glass
Jack smiled, the devil beware
She broke away, to powder her nose
He caught her eye, with a glance
Jill knew something was terribly wrong
He knew, he was taking a chance
Told her he needed another
Left Jill standing there, alone
Watched as he went in another direction
‘Twas then that her heart turned to stone
Tried to secretly meet in the hallway
Too late, they got caught in the act
Jack tried to plead for both of their lives
But Jill didn’t care, that’s a fact
Two shots rang out, she didn’t miss
Their bodies lie dead on the floor
Arrested for murder, gun in her hand
Said she just couldn’t take anymore

Sparks, which ignite the fire, begin
With a simple raise of her hands
Answering, to the gods of flame
Bloodthirsty, their final demands
Darkness falls over, black is night
What’s left, is the flicker of a blaze
Seen from a distance, rising higher
This light, from the darkened haze
They urge her on, to her greatest feat
She conjures their greatest desire
Then leave her, languishing, in the heat
Of the flames, from her funeral pyre
February Writing Prompt: Bloodthirsty and Blazing – Day 10/28

Even one sheltered, out of sight
Will find escape, when others threaten
Author’s Note: If you look toward the lower right side of the photo, you’ll see a heron in flight. I did not know he was in the reeds when I took this picture. My daughter pointed it out to me.

I suppose it should be easy
To find the answers that I seek
But things are always in my way
And the outlook’s rather bleak
To simplify my very thoughts
I get lost, in this big world
Waving flags to passersby
Not noticing it’s still furled
I know I’m not making any sense
Sad to say, at times I ramble
Wish there was a way to rectify
A life, that’s such a shambles
The Daily post: Simplify
