Poetry: “A Fight for Love”

Suites d’un bal masqué – Gérôme – Musée Condé

Burning flame within
launching trouble
burning bubbles
life alone on sin.
Gives me a chance of whim.

Dancing peace above
living silent
where her eyes went
when she rejects my love.
I got slapped with a glove.

The duel went loony
and to the hulk
I had no bulk
I was puny.
But he walked just like a gooney.

So I ran.
He never caught me.
