This Laughable Situation

Dress me like creatures from your fantasies

Send me on adventures to slay your demons

Make me a canvas for your imagination

I'll play a part

if you'll love me

Challenge
This is a form of writing called a triptych. It consists of 3 syllables per line, 3 lines per stanza and 6 or 9 stanzas per poem. Any subject. Have fun with it. *******If you are looking at this challenge at this point, please also look at some notes I published this morning under the title Triptych Challengers...it has some additional information I'd want you to be aware of.

The Most Natural Reaction

Loving you

was not my

intention.

But I would

not forget

the way you

made me feel

important

and special.

For all you

have done to

discourage

fantasies,

     delusions,

          broken hearts,

I still hope

someday you'll

love me back.

Limits Don’t Exist on Infinite Functions

I have walked this earth

unbound

Not confined between

the lines of structure

Until

I found my boundaries

in the infinite

lines of

the crinkles around

your beautiful eyes

To Be Outside and Looking Farther

Maybe nothing I ever do really has passion; I am not particularly attached to the idea of any one commitment. What happens is I separate from all that can be known as entangling. And that is my obsession, my only longing, what only I crave: the allure of freedom

A Weapon Freud Thought He Discovered

Everything in this world has power.

Of course as a superhero, I have more power than the average human, but everything else has some power too; color has the power to make people feel emotion, words have the power to influence minds, even humans have the power to make miracles happen.

Maybe my only difference is that I am aware of my power.

And it's a simple power at that: if any person voluntarily tells me any problem that gives them strife, I can make them forget about it. For some reason, anyone I help has to tell me that they wish to forget about their pain before I get to the actual memory-erasing.

But I am a hero after all and an expert in my field, so it's easy enough to get my clients to say what I need them to.

See, the problem is that resisting memory loss is natural. If people were a little less clueless about how to solve their issues, they wouldn't need saving! Then they want to wallow in their misery; my innate empathy just cannot allow for that, my greatest flaw really.

So it is harder to convince some to be helped. That happens, doesn't mean they are smart enough to stop me, but it's a bit frustrating. I guess some people just don't want to be happy.

And that is the biggest villain I could face.
