KALEIDOSCOPE

The sun hovers in the far left

So close to the rippling water,

Mere inches to a glorious reunion

Time stalls as passion burns brighter,

The world stares in awe

As the two lovers kiss,

Taking pleasure as voyeurs

While the orb drowns in sated bliss,

Look, it’s a miracle

Look, it’s a marvel they say,

Her kaleidoscope disagreed

Mirrored a picture dark and grey,

A dying star splotching the sky

Bloody in its wake,

A treacherous sea swallowing light

Leaving behind heartache, 

She found not marvel but evil, 

Love was just a sinister play.
