The Contradictions of Duality

Swirls of shadowed light rest in minds filled with wakeful anxiety, while the burning ice warms their souls with its chills

Falling in tandem with the rising waves cresting against sandless beaches, reaching for pieces broken by gentle hands banded in the company of destruction

Seduction of the celibate through linear sways of hip and lip, trying as one might to grip and rip the shattered remnants whole

Candescent pitch shining a brilliant purple/black against the flashing abyss, with lost tack that stacked bricks on back become feathers for wings that caress the winds to take it flight
