The blemishes of an untouched petal.
Rouge is its taint of beauty
Green sprouts its life; bountiful
Sweet ivory bursts forth out of its soul
Mahogany savors the pleasure of its wilting fate
As purple stands boldly and triumphantly in the face of its perfect adversity
A lively canvas, this bunch, daring its viewer to avert her gaze
Gaping open in the vulnerability of an unkind atmosphere, it shall never part from here
It challenges even its Creator's vast spectrum of paints on His pallet
Never stifling its creativity for the likes of one
It only blooms for its own satisfaction
Loving everything perceived as its faults
The blemishes of an untouched petal.

The Survival (The Prey)
difficult.
go-go throbbing relentlessly against my eardrums.
busy, rushed, impersonal.
a stifling icebox.
grey, overcast skies.
delinquency.
politics.
founded upon a legendary history dripping with injustice.
measured by the majority's opinion of success & not by heart or hunger.
the right vs. the wrong associations.
big DARK secrets.
change vs. acceptance of oneself.
undying competition.
intimacy vs. isolation.
a traditional and noble facade truly that encompasses a cold, cut throat heart and no soul.
love. scarred and gutted, brutalized and tormented by life's serial killer.

The Survival (The Hunter)
simple.
bleeding bass.
beckoning angry mothers.
bad ass kids, just trying to have fun.
hot, sticky summers.
the piercing bite of fire ants swarming sweet caramel-colored skin.
brisk, icy winters.
goosebumps and teeth chattering, but the frostbitten beauty so enticing you can't go inside.
adolescence plotting their escape or clinging to their ignorance.
young mothers.
absent fathers.
adults living inconveniently to provide a more bountiful harvest for their seeds.
a professional shell with a heart-warming, down home spirit dwelling comfortably within its walls.
real love painted with the timeless ebony ink of Heaven.

InsideOut
no support. no communication. hurt.
rock bottom.
salvaging shreds of love, dignity, trust.
a mirage of the sun upon the horizon.
renovating, working, trying.
rebuilt upon a foundation as good as a used cash car; looks good. really shot to hell.
no acknowledgement. no communication. hurt.
confusion and spite birth dark nights of fabrications. deceit.
believing in a solution.
plastered smiles and held tongues.
realizing. but no admittance.
fireworks. traffic.
acceptance of death.
the crash instantly kills.
serenity.pure ascension.
we're safe in His arms now. His will everlastingly fulfilled.
