Picture Perfect
The picture you like
Framed upon the wall
Yellowed and crumbling
Never to be again
The background masked
Behind lifeless eyes
You chose never to see
The frame--warped
Contorting reality & dream
The wind of the world
Fades into black
Once bright colors
Fade into oblivion
Scenery once scenic
Now a nightmare
Fingerprints smudge
the perfect picture
Into whirlpools of grey
Frame illusions
So clear of truth
Picture Perfect
