Opposing - Dust

Dust… demon and angel breath divide, brief memory revelation flash, tracing lust lit fury, arcing beads of light on parted lips - Purity… spirit devoid, stillness entangled, chained and blind, thoughts swirl eternal, lost, mute, indifferent…cold, descending darkness, stitches mouth mute -

This one had such a strong contrast and juxtapositional feel that I couldn't leave it out of my top 10 - congratulations on your well deserved placement (slight typo on the last line, but I still loved it).

This is quite an intense work; very dark... I hope you are still looking for hope in your darkness. It's beautiful.
