The Orb of Silk
Perfecting the masterpiece that was my own,
In the center of it all I ruled on my throne.
Of the world beyond I did not know,
Outside of these boundaries I dared not go.
Morning light came, and the sun arose.
Jewels of dew drop dangling off of my toes.
I waited for movement, vibrations to show,
That a feast would be tangled, beginning to slow.
Gorging upon my prey there was company that I hadn’t missed,
I had been given a grant in which I nurtured and kissed.
Then with candy stained fingers came a flick of a wrist,
Then my world was gone, into the morning mist.
Gazing back up, I silently mourned.
A gash in perfection, the fingers had torn.
I expressed my contempt, I cursed and I scorned.
My perfect world was no longer; my perfect world was no more.
