Amaranth

 

Fluttering funeral music tangled in the breeze,

Ghostly lullabies hushed to secrecy,

Bring up twilight desires,

Welcome my frail form to eternities abyss,

The hollow place of origin,

A crumbling labyrinth with a perpetual end,

The allure of ambrosial amaranth,

Fills me with an aching longing,

The perished city, shrouded in delicate mist,

Inhabited by tragic victims,

Defiled by severed imaginations,

Ink blotched contracts destroyed in fiery siege,

Mystic shrines stained with blood,

Controlled by lithium, sweet oppression,

My field of needles, calling to me.

    What can anyone say but great

    Your use of words and grasp of what and how to describe emotion is wonderful. You paint with words that allow me to see life differently, thank you.

    I love your images you paint to go with the picture. They are so intense and vivid. Really very effective.
