UntitledA Poem by Marian ElizabethOpium is an angel of existence, The Romantics loved it so; It builds a kaleidoscope Out of the greed in my eyes. My vantage point is surreal And I see electric waves, a genesis, An Atlantis that can’t sink, Tsunamis of sapphire glass Giving birth to abstract shells Like particles lost in space, Bold seconds questioning Time, A lonely hot air balloon That to butterflies is prey And flies up, up, up Crashing into Ganesha’s foot Urging chaos out of jail, Upsetting nebulas of lilies, Filling black holes with dirt, Throwing a blanket of poppies Over the moon’s rocky pain. I see origins! Beginnings that demon opium Plays in my oracle brain. © 2016 Marian Elizabeth |
