DUST DESIGNS : PURCHACE CUSTOM ART AT MY ONLINE BUSINESS PAGE


Butterfly Dust

...blown on the wind
another goes down
a human touch that destroys
fragile beauty
shattered by ignorant curiosity
like a leaf that flutters to the ground
brilliance of color
fading in the noonday sun
merciless to the face of a preditor
look but dont touch.
putrefication of an innocent spirit
magic powder of flight stolen
by a forceful hand
thrown from the sky like
an angel fallen, wings translucent
useless and dry, beating in a
feeble attempt to reclaim flight
beauty now left to die
useless to the destructive curious eye
attempt to touch the magic
resulting in an orange powder
staining of a finger
the butterflys last hour
wilting beauty destroyed
like a picked flower

Perforation

In this paradox of twilight
as i sit here conversing, alone with my words
swept away in this altered reality,
induced out of sleep depravation
self starvation, this chaos of mangled thoughts,
shattering the fragile plains that detach me
in this introspective seclusion
frightened by my casual disregard of conscience
heightened in the senses that redefine my physical existance
in this luscious space of silence
intuned to the thoughts that pervade and enlighten
invade my contemplation, preempt my invitation
an indulgent deliverence from the starkness of the present moment,
eradication of all obligation, agitated as i slip
upon the threshold of tomorrow, straying blindly
as i allude all sense of purpose
seeking meaning in spontaneous abstractions
questioning the condemnation of my choices
Wasted, drowning in the depths that i swallow
submerged in this twisted metaphoric lullaby
soaking in the sweet sounds of this self inflicted rhapsody of confusion.
An intrinsic will of existance, vacating all velocity in my emotion,
burdening deeply with it's devotion, forcing the latent submission
of my behavior to stream along in this purgatory
of self induced insanity.
