- Murdered Crown...Silent Memories -

 

       

 

 

 

 

Flash of obsession, continuous clicks
to capture celebrity icon inside tunnel
before breath of fresh air released caged
endangered species inside Mercedes Benz.

Rubber shrieks, skids across asphalt
into cement corners, cornered occupants
as lights blurred in blackness;
internal panic button pushed.

Limbs extended, writhed outside windows
with climatic click and compulsive flash
before metal met side walls.

Princess crown crushed within tin can
alongside fairytale companion

while foreign hands neglected to nurture wounds
but instead brought out artistic weapons
before their blank, stone cold faces;
vultures initiated a series of attacks.

Crimson outlined borders of black also white
with shoe prints in murdered memories
before brazen kamikazee paparazzi
snapped perfect shot with shells (fatal)
of princess in the arms of her prince.

    This one made me feel very sad... I know how all these feelings can leave you. I loved all the metaphor and you used the right words to describe the right emotions and put into these situations. Another beautiful one from you.

    Powerful write with powerful imagery. It was so sad what happened to Princess Diana. She was so young when she died. It's also a shame of what lengths photographers will go to like the paparazzi in order to get a photo of someone. Safety should always come first. Good luck in the contest.
