Wild Streak

Pic on Deviant Art by killorcast ~ Light streak along Edsa Highway, Manila
~
Two for Tuesdays prompt ~ lesson streak
~
Like a wild lesson
Sliced with a glowing hot streak
Like rich, deep darkness
Knifed with a kaleidoscope
Of burning, living hell's coals
~
Hollow midnight hours
Time to face inner demons
Time to contemplate
Time to wonder on secrets
Time to close Pandora's box
