Mesmerizing degradation

Deep shadows creep across a room,
Naught but a single ray of light
An illuminating stream through the crevice far above
Cascading through floating particles
Caught in the density of space
Falling softly to the floor.
Velvet petals mellifluously glowing
One crystal drop suspended in motion
Amidst razor thorns protecting beauty
Luminous eyes peer from the blackness
Swirling blue orbs of piercing intensity
Unblinking flames wreathed in dark shapes, watching.
Time slows, the single drop is released
Plummeting to the floor
Smashing smooth perfection into a thousand facets
Exploding the silence,
Flashing mirage of deathly features
Dissolving into acrid smoke
Rushing upward from containment
Blotting out the light with an inky gloom
Leaving one entity alone
In an incomprehensible vastness
Engulfing that which it contains
Mesmerizing the eye of the unknown beholder
A presence that goes unacknowledged,
Yet it struggles to exist.
Surrounded by the wreckage of matter torn apart
By the soulish desires of beasts
That were never brought to humility
Whispers heard from afar,
Clouded by the poisonous fumes that arise in a land of ghouls
Unfathomable creatures
