THAT mad ocean dancing the Charleston Her waves, waltzing upon the disco floor, Her reel in twirls and swirls with itself Bopping, swooning She is sure in her ways, fox-trotting along horizons, Her legs assiduous, that ocean I declare A tender cruel woman, or a woman Plainly everywhere, plainly nowhere No matter what song they played She swung and swayed in each tune's ***** ***** blossom and she swaggered across Where the sands lay shells to rest No chart hit or smash But whispered sweet nothings, sweet everythings.

A Mad Ocean
Question: Can you relinquish the anguish release the disease detain the pain cage the rage control the pothole rot the knot tar the scar vanish the blemish foil the boil avert the hurt forsake the ache jump the bump defuse the bruise slice the ice spurn the burn dress the mess assault the fault shear the fear repress the stress warm the storm wing the sting defy the lie deflate the hate and live happily ever after?

Big Question About Life
Cinderella was frightfully grateful she got her shoe back seeing as getting around in one heel was a tad awkward. How the prince could have thought that she'd simply melt into his arms was beyond her though. Needless to say, she had been polite and said, thanks, but no thanks, but she didn't like his expectations. What the heck, no point in thinking about that now, there were rakes of other ***** to crash.

Cinderella Says Thanks, But No, Thanks
I matter. You matter. She matters. He matters. It matters. We matter. Ye all matter. They matter. No matter what.

As a Matter of Fact
“Do you remember the time we walked through the woods during the thunderstorm, winds howling, darkness descending?” “Yeah, I remember your twisted ankle and my cold hands dragging you through the forest.” “We couldn’t see where we were heading, I remember being scared.” “And I was pretending everything was ok.” “That’s right, I remember your stern look and tight grip, remember thinking he’s scared too but doesn’t want to admit it.” “I thought you might know but choose not to let on.” “Thank God we found that clearing to wait out the storm. I liked the way you wrapped yourself around me in the rain, drops dripping from your nose onto my cheeks.” “Yeah, that was nice.”

The Woods
Put off by Realms of doubt Overthrowing Craft Rationale Ambition. Staying Tied to Inaction Negativity Abandon Tethered by Ill-ease Overruling Nirvana.

PROCRASTINATION
If I hurt may I hurt to ease my hurt and hurt somebody who'll hurt someone else to soothe their hurt and make them hurt somebody else who'll deaden their hurt by making you hurt?

An Eye for an Eye
Light's like an unruly child flouting the rules of darkness always playing to win discourteous to walls cocky when surrounded derisive when oppressed impertinently breaking in opportunistic when cracks show fearless when choked irreverent when fenced in flippant when hidden cheeky when scalded a brazen brat!

Light's a Brat
Papa never entered uninvited meandering over neat obstacles unless lingering tentatively reminiscing about marriage inconvenience courting romance. Others seemingly chasing old passions infinitely caught sailing in lust intimately conflicting over value or love calm and nice only cascading / only never intending offence singing innocuous songs.

His hands, like his love, were never maudlin, her love never cloudy Beneath crystal skies aloft clear springs hands cross to mould house and home in sunshine and rain
