A tale lost to the eyes of an opened box
She watched the terrors frenzied frolics
there gasps of unbreathed unstagnant air
Each horror quickly surpassed
her pupils fully blown
then something stunning ripped her gaze
a multi faceted beauty
her head tilted to the sun
eyes tasting sunlights warmth
her sloping swanish nape
like mountain side unscaled
Watching this beauty she couldn't grasp
The evil she understood
their shallow shapes
and deformed moulds
portents of their will
This water coloured feint unsure
but with the parting of those perfect lip
she understood
as she swallowed
the satin winged beauty
her envy of the pure so obvious
the butterfly eater unchained

Simply Breathtaking
Upon its advent
done ... it came and went
so characterless
this working process
from depths, we inhale
therefrom, we exhale
breath names this function
to be ... its junction
~~breath
relieved sigh ... expire
deep snoring ... respire.
We take breaths from out
inside whirls about
cache paired lungs fill up
all calm, we letup
in-out when at home
out-in while we roam
climb uphill we huff
candles out we puff
~~breath
through life ... unnoticed
keeps death ... remotest.
As we be breathed
brings us this life
as we unbreathed
blessed afterlife.
