Shattered glass
Broken dreams
End of a rainbow
Words
Dirty rotten words
Paltry passing peepshow

Dance of destruction
Poisonous putrefaction
Forgotten choices
Love
A forbidden word
Whispered in forgotten voices

Floating chimera
Myopic mirage
Beautiful Beamer
Sounds
Of a purring engine
Was that a redeemer?

We slept you and I
On a bed of red roses
For a while
A perfect dawn
Light
Strobes on a discotheque
Or, a death bed of thorns?
