Diurnal Wings
Diurnal wings; conspicuously marked,
flap scenery's archaic boundaries,
sinister trails of circular motion
throw fast fear into a dark frenzied scrawl;
a diary of definition which reeks
of disturbance in childhood memory,
forever trapped beneath intensity,
screams set free to fly with chaos theory.
Cyclonic light spins dizzy atmosphere
into a throat; clenched with colourful storms,
as feelings explode into panic's face,
terror's but a mask within hate's make-up,
statuesque dignity spills wide-eyed pain,
yesterday's torment that glides through beauty.
