Vanity

Tidal pull reshaping my reality;

defining course and thoughts.

Causality.

Pushing over beliefs and tort;

creative destruction, or chaos?

Perhaps ill fated acts of vanity;

impertinent need for relevance.

Grandiosity.

Desperate moments of elegance,

sought to ameliorate deep loss.

Achievements appease mortality;

finitude both blight and catalyst.

Rationality.

Primal desire: become alchemist,

- audaciously paint life with gloss.
