Analysis of Metamorphic Smiles
Competitive activity explodes
the intellect while realms of notions shift,
colours swirl ability as twisted
sanity splashes puddles of pursuit -
there's a toned look blinking athletic eyes;
distinguished perception dances blue scenes.
Manipulative behaviour stretches
psychology as games quickly begin.
Opposition strikes imagination,
she reels from the force of imagery,
manifestations of perplexity
wail ghost stories around delicate strength,
a rush of specifics counteracts pain,
love twists the assault in new directions,
it flitters away on the tail of sound.
A synchronous operation stutters
as injections of personality
clash inside cold dimensions of purpose,
thirty two pieces break twenty fingers
as fast metamorphic smiles twist hawk's heads
into feathers of victory; white wisps
of peaceful songs which float the dove's warm heart.
It's over in an instantaneous
moment of hard-faced numbers and symbols,
a mathematical spiral of her
femininity blows a kiss to him,
and he stumbles away, a vicious blur.
