Prompt: Celebrity

Prompt: Celebrity
Form: Lilibonelle

An expert vision of a large life,
Of our suburban space Red Giant,
Of every gathering the soul,
To constants barely compliant,
Even the falls I often braid -
All bonds persistently evade.

Of our suburban space Red Giant,
With voice of booming pasi gong
Tales gilded grand round simple hearts
You weave with sweet alluring song.
I wonder if in New York crowd
You still succeed in standing out.

Of every gathering the soul,
Your yearning mirrors common goal -
With something bigger to be whole.
You feed us laughter, heavy sighs,
Time flying past - your presence's price,
But gladly limits one denies on your high tides.

To constants barely compliant
And in defiance rarely mild;
The term shall slip from not one mind
Of home dyed shirts and jeans that click
In rainbow bursts you'd proudly pick
For every morning of the week.

Even the falls I often braid,
Chestnut cascades grace shoulders uncommitted,
Frame thin stretched face, all eyes.
Those eyes will capture in their gaze - you only, their whispered promise. Yet that
Through and at himself they look you easily forget
Time and again.

All bonds persistently evade,
Beyond blood never fully yielding
Attachment or affection. Thriving
Off us all, belonging to no one.
Restless spirit, will you settle
Ever within yourself, if only to catch breath?
