sparkler

to be struck on a deceiving smile
is like playing with ceaseless fire
you will burn yourself for a while
and eventually you'll just get tired
you may cleverly master the game
but the player you can never tame
you might then change your lanes
and you'll have yourself to blame
never bet on an unwinnable fight
not all battlefield rules are alike
getting lost in a sparkler's light
find yourself in a maze walking blind
another Darcy to this wild Bennet
or maybe an Austen in the making
sad is the fate of Hallward isn't it?
from painting the portrait of Gray
but time weathers different stones
when you leave or love them alone
fate is something no one has known
what you want one day you may own.
