the absurdity of a superpower called invisibility

being invisible
to my mind
is not the kind of superpower
i want to possess

being visible
on the other hand
is a power i would like to have

sounds absurd?

ask anyone
who misses
and who
misses being missed

still sounds absurd?

trembling

as drops of blood
gently appeared
on his back

a sign
that she had
marked her territory

his skin
under her fingernails
tamed dominated
he waited for her next command

she spread
his universe
open for him
luring him into believing
it was his sanctuary

as he slithered
towards her
to be undone
she seized his
gasp
midair

and left him
spent
trembling
in her hand

no strings attached

greed

one day
with nothing left
i will pray
for atleast a little

and a little
would feel like more than enough

but greed
won't let me stop there
till i am left with nothing
once again

i will renounce my belief then
pretend to be angry
at how unfair life is
how it took everything away
and left me with nothing

and i will pretend to be unaware
that it wasn't nothing
that put me here
it was everything
and valuing nothing
not even a little
