Lingering over these overexposed portraits,
froze embedded in three days of Ember,
I oppose the fasting for four reasons,
and there come to blows over what I remember.

I toss in meandering a wishful coin,
her lip gloss embrocated my chapped lips,
at a loss to finding where she eloign, lost
sign of the cross she signs over strips,
tore from the gown she hoped would one day
pass over her hips.

Given your......

.......clever sleight of words - "four reasons" for the usual "seasons" I think "she signs over strips" should be "sighs over" - perhaps a typo? In any case it got a five from me, easily.

pardon my poetic bending of rules

overexposed/Froze/I oppose/come to blows, or 4/1/2/3 syllables.

I was playing a numbers game, so 'frozen' would give me an unwanted extra utterance. I tried it again in the second stanza with 1/2/3/4, Toss/lip gloss/at a loss/sign of the cross, but over the years I added syllables to make it more easily digested. Word games usually don't work out, but given time I've found some new tricks. Thanks for commenting and reading. -wby

Should 'froze' be 'frozen'? Seems to fit better to me

Interesting psyclogical trick

in this line:

"fasting for four reasons,"

"eloign" doesn't come up as well, but not bad, in a way clever, but seems so. A 5/
