The sparks like lanterns,
emerge
from the surface smothered
in the carpet of inferno.
Soaring while swaying back and forth,
they gently embrace
the shadows of the dusk,
turning off their switches of glow.┈┈┈┈․° ༻❉༺°․┈┈┈┈
The burning irides adorn the gate to the lair
that dilated as if it were drawing closer and closer,
with the igneous pair taking up a perigon to conclude the affair,
-their journey now featured in a reel
of a single dioramic capture.┈┈┈┈․° ༻❉༺°․┈┈┈┈
The exposure exposed an infernal wall
environed with yet another wall of dry earth,
the flames gradually closing in
and the annular solar eclipse
a decoy event called,
to swallow up the moon
in the ring of fire.┈┈┈┈․° ༻❉༺°․┈┈┈┈
The earth wall went higher and higher
encompassing the space in the only direction that was hollow,
and
from that hollow,
an upright pail hung
to quench the burning thirst of an arid well,
drained of its own saliva to swallow.┈┈┈┈․° ༻❉༺°․┈┈┈┈
A single leap was sufficient
to seize and invert the bucket
following which,
its contents came gushing out,
some elixir of life along with colourful flowers and crisp green foliage,
and the bouquets showered from nowhere
already lay on the ground.┈┈┈┈․° ༻❉༺°․┈┈┈┈
In an instant, a sigh of relief exhaled, and in yet another instant
the inhaled smoke suffocated the resurrected,
cause the elixir of life
was just another fugacious gust of fresh air,
infront of the abysmal aeonian infernal rage
that still dictated.┈┈┈┈․° ༻❉༺°․┈┈┈┈
At the precise moment when the upper bulb is about to run empty,
someone turns the hourglass upside down,
the bucket did generate a spark
but a slight drizzle
and the stones togged up in their coats all mossy,
the contents along with the bouquets lay burning on the ground.┈┈┈┈․° ༻❉༺°․┈┈┈┈
The bouquets,
maybe they were an illusion..
an illusion of felicitation,
or maybe
a signaling of mockery.
Well, whatever may be the reality or the delusion,
there's no confusion
that
someones tragedy is always savored by someone else as a means of comedy.┈┈┈┈․° ༻❉༺°․┈┈┈┈
Ultimately let's take a break
from all these plays of delusional realities and realistic delusions
and in lieu
solve a gripping fallacy.
So tell me,
How many grains of sand would it take
to be called a cumulation,
to quench an eternal flame
and destroy its trajectory?༺═─────•༻❉᯽❉༺•─────═༻
