#slightly concerning

Curious and a bit skeptical, I stood and casually walked around to see what was on her screen

She had her camera open and I saw her leave the camera and open her messages, quickly sending the pics she took to someone else

it starts with simplicity:

a glance, a grin, a wave

gestures of goodwill only

albeit with probable doting

a glimmer of genuine affection

and then worlds scatter

refracting rose-tinted lenses

resounding into restless rosters

of futures that reap irrational rewards

from such fractal glimpses:

a dashing date deemed the catalyst

for delicate ventures and down on one knee

damning devilish deeds for intertwining dance

until death draws a sickening tear in devotion

the fruits of freakish finalities evident

matrimony, comradely finished fundamentally

a floating rift fuelled by the fountain of naivety

a fast and forward freedom to the grave

with every insignificance i revelled:

in chords of cordiality cremated

culled by cream of the intellectual crop

castrated coldly by crammed coast

the canal of the coming apocalypse

every evening of evocative easiness

the caress of entering electric eels

that embrace and envelope in your eyes

of ending the earls of heavenly hell

but the mind is so stupid:

it need not bothers to interpret

interpolate information of importance

into inkly blots and iodine idiocies

instead of being in the interest present

perhaps it’s better to aim for the aces

asserting the abacus of assonance

in an already altercating alternative

I especially appreciate the Christmas lightbulb necklace. It's hard to tell from these photos, but it lights up and flashes.
