Techno flights
on artificial wings,
cover heart
with foil of desensitize passions.
Freedom from fear
over mortality's frailties,
sacrificed in servitude
unto master of toys.
Intimacy's Lepidoptera
flutters in conscience
causing echoes
from enigma's ghosts
who moan in haunting mockery
about how solos by soul
escape dependency's gravity.

Like your "cover heart with foil." Your second stanza really says it all! Clever - a fluttering butterfly as a disturbance in the conscience. "Echoes from enigma's ghosts/who moan in haunting mockery" => that's quite a disturbance. Escaping souls... I'm speechless and I know who this is! You have really done well with this one. ( I'm sorry but your style is too distinctive!) Loved it! Thank you for your entry! Marlene
