Optical Dystopia

If the world revels in blindness, does it still seek vibrant hues?

Between light and shadow, love ignites: a perpetual dance,

A whispering tempest that spurns the whispers of sanity,

Bearing paradoxical fruits of sweet anxiety, each bite mirrored.

Maybe we are but crashing waves upon shores of mirrors,

Each reflection, a ghost lost in the tangle of desire,

Yearning for a union of dysfunctional radiance,

A tapestry woven in fragmented condolences, stitched with vigor.

In conspiracy blooms the vine, overtaking the steel,

Shall we dance in the symphony of dissonance?

Unfold the creased petals, student of absence,
