HALF A JOYFUL WORLD...

In half a joyful world....

Truths cling tight to delicate wings
That float the air to doom
Can be viewed under greenest leaves
Where aphids feed and fatten
Become feed

In half a joyful world....

A sly moon gloats as 
Claws unfurl
And velvet is called out
A lie
Loses all sheen
Stripped bare
To bones that gleam

In half a joyful world....

Truths are hidden 
Blatantly 
In sunbeams of rainbow colour
That dazzle
Brilliantly and blindingly
And mockingly

In half a joyful world....

Misery is just food
To feed a rampant beast
​​​​​​While death drinks it's fill
And more
Where beauty smiles benevolently
At blood
Which again
Becomes the beauty...

In such a world....
I struggle for air.
