Alabaster White

Alabaster white, brazen in bold 
can’t be bought or sold!

Silent as it is Sinister 
somehow that alabaster glows?

Surface, a bony texture; cracks, fissures 
like something living once long ago 
in antediluvian halls…

A house sits in its red marrow, bone-white walls!
not knowing tomorrow only knowing what is heralded 
of bone white, gold intricate 
filagree serpentine, imagery!

Of alabaster, old brazen n bold like cast bronze figurines 
of unknown deities calling out 
to touch fingers tips… 

Caress, seeing the texture of bones
cracks n fissures like ancients skulls at rest
this thing of alabaster, cold!
Silently sitting sinisterly.

…alabaster bold somehow defies eons that fold 
alabaster white blazing of an unknown…disaster!                                                       

Cryptic life resting in antediluvian wombs  
a forgotten world borrowed deep 
in the red marrow…tombs!

forgotten by tomorrow pushing faster 
unknown, cold, old encrusted in 
  Ancient 
   ...Alabaster
