Oil Slick Opalescence

Tiny orbs of iridescence, Rainbow clear and glitter, sparkle, shine, shimmer, Innocent and bitter. Twinkle twinkle little sphere, lilting to and fro, Dancing on the jasmine breath, Of kisses angels blow. Oil slick swirls of spectrum, Essence trapped in glass, tumbling on edges of incense, Whimsical, alas. Tye-dye smears of rose and sky, Stained gold and sea, Suffocating intoxication, Breathless objectivity. Torrid maze of purposeless, Prismatic, weightless rain, Opalescent labyrinth, Fearless, fading pain. Profane in its ignorance, Drifting on the wave, Seconds shy of sixty, Abrupt and humid grave.
