Surface Deceived

The waters have calmed,

a contradictory statement

comparing to the inner sanctum's

water in turmoil.

Clear blue crystal waters filter

through the golden sands that

transform from pure bound beauty

to blackened ink and gravel stone.

Cool black dirt,

moist and fragrant,

rich in nutrients

is only the surface.

Beneath the rich soil

lays molten rock,

furiously melting,

burning consuming.

Upon the surface

lays smiles and laughter,

but in her leaden heart

burns pain and tugs hell.
