Out of my Head

by Stephanie, Libra - Not entered


Foreign streams dribble through my landscape.
A melancholy tadpole forgetting his vulnerability
Floating tandem with an iridescent refraction of sun.
Candles wane and sing their crackling song along the 
   edge.
Tempting shards of flame create a festive mirage.
But silence wraps around my dance, igniting the ballet
   into a seemingly fleshless inspiration.
I want so badly to say,dreams, when suddenly a taupe 
   swallow with wordless beauty lights upon the tadpole in 
   a wholly solid need for sustenance.
