Crisp & Flat (Part III)

Crisp until it pops,
popping until it breaks,
breaking until it's flattened
into the thinnest of pancakes.
Bright as the sun
shining freely in the sky
until the clouds consume
as the beauty quickly dies.
Poignant as the prose
that changes lives instantly
until the grinder chews it
and spits the point out as empty.
Crispness in the air
floating in and out
until the flatness battles
to crush it without doubt,
but as the flat tries
its hardest and best
the crisp will not give up
lying and at rest.
The flat will fight
to infect and kill
leaving the only question to be
does the crisp possess the will?

Arguments for Mending

The arguments rose,
the arguments fell.
The arguments were
their living hell.
They were enough
to break apart
love that once
lived in hearts.
Now they were given
one last chance
to make this work,
to rediscover romance.
Now time will only
tell the ending
and if there's too much
anger for mending.
