Rubik's Cube

Some puzzles are harder than others. Day 21 (Form: Alliterisen)

Rubik's Cube

Sequential swirling squares abound;
colored cubes rotating 'round.
Vexing visions fill my head -
multi-hues meld blue to red.

Lilting laughter follows close.
Focused faculties engross.
Simple solutions are not found
as sinking sanity is drowned.

Colors click into their place.
Success spreads smiles across my face.
Only one loss lingers in my life:
Failure to figure out my wife.
