A Perfect Imperfect (per;PPOW)

fileId:3096224744272139;size:inter;

A perfect imperfect

is what I am,

with perpetual dreams

and peripheral vision.

A person of perverted desires

for personal gain,

the pain of Perdition hides

In a peroxide heart.

I need Perrier water

from a higher source,

to wash my soul

and even my percentages,

before peril brings repercussion,

and percale sheets are pulled,

to cover a perverse discoloration,

of a periwinkle countenance.

I perceive I perch on the perimeter of decision

in a non-permanent period of time,

but perhaps, in perspiration of agony,

I will garner perfume from the Rose of Perfection,

then, I can lay in perpetual peace,

while perfuse words, and final epitaph

will not perjure me,

saying- “He is dead, but he did not perish!”
