Twisted Virtues That Shine Twisted Lights

slightly battered beaten and torn
at my side
my self-righteous thorn
catastrophied symphony and your resounding noise
i employed pain
  consistant choice
recognized alarming perpetual gaze
always acting until ignored
   red curtains open
      listless crowd snores, 
waiting to be impressed, 
otherwise bored
    life as a show

this is the story of 
love ungloried 
muddy waters of my soul
continually pouring
damned and drenched
my atmosphere wrenched
glorious vision of lakes and bays
sky blued
     reflecting, dismantalling, effectually,
 the thin line between perceived 
substance and infinite reality
