A Pristine Swan

It appears as if 
the world has been 
coated by a wave of 
deceitful dictums,
  where faked reality
   appears to be popular, 
an appeal of mimicry shines 
even most brilliantly. 
Anathema to blisters
induced by prickly nettle;
an artwork mustered
quivering feathers 
that cascade over 
the ivory cuticles
nestled in molten
mascarpone. 
Pearlescent opal stone,
a glimpse of the 
     azure sky, 
  a shattered spirit, 
            hollering.

Deeper within her 
skeletal corpulence
an artist grumbles 
vehemently,
leaping into the air 
while emitting a strained
sonorous tone,
primal image vanishes
and equestrian adulation 
is insufficient,
an ersatz nest of swans
      brimming with an 
             ethereal dawn.

Soprano with a 
whimsical quality
slightly etched in 
matte black tone
diploid remnants are 
a flawless fleck of 
fascinating fear,
Hollow echoes chant 
hymns hail cherubs, and 
croon carcass lullabies
Rakish Requiem for 
an unreciprocated 
magnificent opus
       swiftly spanning 
           pinewood spots, on the 
                 cusp of giving way.

As the impresario 
sags on the ladder, 
the opera curtains 
are drawn closer,
a soothing melody 
numbs her fingers 
in the process.
Mozart pianissimo is 
playing as Requiem strolls 
across the stage,
yet, he pulls it off 
and fulfills the 
task precisely.
Etchings of sequence 
on my flesh, conduct 
    an extraordinary 
       ballet of life, 
     raving smooth calm
           with melodic verses 
                 that breathe vitality.
