Chameleon Ball

Rose high above the marble steps lined chrome and glass filled rails

a chameleon pranced and pursed it's hips in photographic gale

Twas posed the formal night to wear appropriate attire

reptilian gallant confidence did ooze beneath the smile

Accessories and opened shoes did set the tone for eve

where all chameleon's fix their path for games to dance with ease

To thus forget the dreaded place where silence overwhelms

when lone at last within their plots where none invades their realm

But for the time they'll dine and laugh and pour out vast pretend

and try forget the longing place that lie thus deep within

And vapored glee shall soon escape and lone shall thus they be

with none surround and lonesome sound the whimpers to their plea

And gather more chameleon guest who all with fate portend

to rid themselves of absent hearts with others they might blend

To find a hope, a love, a light a presence to relieve

the pain within, rejected soul of all that caused their grief

So dance and play and seek a while, and find temp'ral reprieve

chameleon balls be held for thus the barren remedy
