Sallow Chaos
Pulchritudinous attraction
withered away to solemn dirt
lining frail and delicate desperation
which fell deep into the wrath
of melody's storm.
Tangled frames exist only
within a carmine horizon;
a ghost of skeletal cartilage
trapped in a shell to suffocate -
struggling in endless writhe.
Shimmer glaze will rust
all nerve, depleting the stem
of a thousand gutted flowers,
yet still tangible to amethyst shadows.
Lost in an electric twine,
dissipated into a funnel of oceans
where only sounds of quiet voices
surround threads of silence.
