MAGNIFICATION

Close up, on the smooth couth
meretricious pod, vibrantly
violating my optics violently,
even through the microscope.
Its swarthy stare is maliciously
resplendent and evoked from 
parsimony.

Nature's beauty is suicidal.
pulchritude through lens,
but a spike to the neck.

Even in risk, identified ignorance is ignored.
veracity is a voodoo doll,
if you toss it out it re-emerges like 
a comet
relentlessly.
the microscope aggrandize on its perilous magnificent shock.
like an arboreal boat it is shielded but 
pops in agitation, adjudicating what
personality to adorn.

It feels like a placid charade,
for toxicity comes with respect
and beliefs, adherence.
just like a horse belch loyalty
and a den of destruction 
her seeds swell calmly in hot dosage bean.
opulently lethal.

I see her dancing high on the bed of pleasure
through the microscope, with feets enveloped in predicament and her lips covered in crimson ichor.

A queen, so clean, a routine as green.

Valsa George Date: 2/19/2024 4:17:00 AM So deep and powerful. Nature's beauty can be seen magnified. But the dangers and ugliness, its toxicity hiding behind.... do we see? "Veracity is a voodoo doll"....this usage has deep implications. You are indeed not just a poet, but a profound thinker. Great poem dear young friend....

Tom Woody Date: 12/19/2023 2:52:00 PM You use a lot of hard words for me to understand. Still, your poetry is high end and we're glad you're here Tonye Login to Reply Tonye George Date: 12/19/2023 3:36:00 PM Lol Tom. Thank you so much. I'm glad you're here to support.

Silent One Date: 12/19/2023 12:35:00 PM Love the use of words here.. Your poem is a striking exploration of the dichotomy inherent in nature's allure, depicted through a lens that magnifies both its enchanting beauty and the underlying dangers it conceals. The choice of words, such as 'smooth couth,' 'meretricious pod,' and 'violating my optics violently,' creates a sensory experience that mirrors the intensity of the observation... Login to Reply Tonye George Date: 12/19/2023 2:19:00 PM I cannot appreciate you enough silent one for your support from day one, it has motivated me to keep on, even days I don't feel like it. Thank you for seeing this piece for exactly what it is.
