What we fail to realize
about the enigma that is Laura
is the widely held misconception
that her radiant #lambent persona
belies a fiery passion
that has blow torched
many a bold fellow who tried
to take masculine advantage
of her easy going facade

#TankaThursday rant
With the warmth of a catfish
Lacking #lambent light
In deceitful blank dead eyes
Ex flopping on ghosted shore

On a canvas of twilight
the moon and stars dance
waltzing across the horizon
oblivious to the world below

Their eternal romance
glorifies the night
with sparkle dust

Can we do the same
and illuminate
the smothering darkness
with our own #lambent glow?
