Beautiful Creatures
Flawless, perfect.
Everything you intended us to be:
Beautiful Creatures.
To a fault.
Not that it was intentional – not at all – an accidental slip of the tongue,
Broken glass,
Blank paper and colourful words:
We are born.
Not that you regret it!
You’d never regret us,
Your creations, your design, your image
and your mistake.
Did I say mistake?
Hardly,
Anything but a joyous surprise.
Waking from your drug induced stupor to find nothing quite where you left it,
Yet exactly where you remember it was.
Like waking after a terrible storm.
Beautiful,
Clean,
And vibrant.
Life is exactly where you recall it but rearranged as the rain saw fit.
Hardly a mistake,
Beautiful accident.
You never quite understood how it happened,
Or why it happened.
Angry,
Sore,
Confused.
We were the chip on your shoulder.
What a moment!
Tables overthrown,
Glass hearts smashed,
Paints scorching,
Canvas burning,
Brushes twisted.
Walls broken, bruised.
We were hardly a mistake.
A beautiful,
Hurting,
Horrible
Accident.
