Premiere Contest WinnerDistorted Essence

Rhapsody of rainbow morphs to morose mélange
Bleeding colors bleached from the twilight cloud 
Rainstorm daubs as blemish on the broken heart
The shades of grey paint the frayed linen of love.

Requiem of roses resonates in melancholic medley
Petals pine for dripping tear drops of mourning dew 
Desiccate in somber sunshine in the deserted mind
Fallen flowers make bouquet for deceased passion. 

Cacophony capsuled in the cauldron of mute melody 
Chaotic symphony dismantles on the discord waves
Strained smiles sneer the scarred scenario of lone life
Songs turn to convoluted noise echoed by the soul.

The lattice of life seen through the languid cynic lens
Magnifies into crooked contortion of distorted essence.
