Black ball of flames enveloping light
Focused into a steel shell cased form
Widening when a thought is absurd
Thinning in a moment of sheer rage

Marble orb that looks without remorse
Becoming as objective as a negative
Emotions riding on dark, winded storms
Surrounded by the beauty of the iris

Framed by rings of alighted pigments
Blue, green, gray, or brown restraints
Internal abyss that allows light to break
As the soul’s tornado is reduced to wisps
