As Spiders in a Web
Threads trembling
the pulse of a dying star.
Silver veins stretched thin
the twin sparks of an oncoming car!
Fragile as a lie whispered at midnight
the air crackles stillness
a map of hunger, waiting…
Of beauty so precise it bleeds
eyes like black shadows
hollow reflection sparkles in the dark.
In rhythms & rage
make silence scream, step!
Into dances between
what is & is not a symphony
composed of fear and insanity.
Bodies twitch, shadows
ripple somewhere.
A soul quivers in fire
Its wings caught the darkest caress.
Of a perfect trap, a final embrace
the web glistens in morning's breath
dew-like tears that forgot their treason.
A crystal grave, beauty sleeps
in the jaws of all that feeds
something waits, unheard.
Painting the dark, designs unformed
creating order from the chaos!
Of things delicate monstrosities
intricate atrocities!
Understand that beauty lies
in the stillness of horror
in the perfection of prey.
Whispers of the night across the air
a silent orchestra conducting shadows
spinning gossamer glass shards.
Fragile, dangerous, beautiful a map of hunger
catches the sliver of moonlight.
Into a constellation, broken dreams
inhaling the mist of dying stars
exhaling the sigh of one's clipped wings.
Silence in screams, their eyes glinting
black diamonds glisteninG the thrill of the inevitable.
But there is beauty in horror
the violence of creation destruction so tender.
How the light flares within the darkness
a passing of a car
a tapestry is woven
in the pulse of a dying star.
