The Crucible of Legends

Children of possibilities navigate the classable realms, settling upon the measurable. Amorous piglets, their peachy snouts delve, rooting through the trash heap of desire. "In a time beyond now," wheatenly speaks the tale-spinner, plucking a clover, pale and crowned with stardust, among the untamed grains sown in the depth of breath. I crave an eye bathed in Bengal's blaze, eternity riding a celestial pyre, Cetus dancing on an ocean canvas, whose seas flow no fresher than the confessions' wicked drippings. These realms are places of suspicion, where pigments of reality and fantasy fasten, and I am compelled to dwell within my cresset, guardian of the trimming glimmers. Snipping the subtle freshness, a novice to the gallows of Experience, I gaze through colored glass, where each tint tells a story of refracted truths.
