Perpetual order

And some kind of

Righteous coincidence

Are the essence of this world;

 

They call it perfection but it’s

Merely the adroit flay of

Things; lend it time and

It’ll all fall apart.


(You shall bear witness
To this with moist eyes, 
And a heaviness in your
Sore, withering heart.)

For the weekly prompt 'Perfection' at :iconpoetry-on-the-mind:.
Enjoy. ^^ xx

Really deep introspection in this piece (and all your poetry)! They're so philosophical/psychological I really really like them!!

But you're soo right. There are so many facets to perfection that I guess the closest we ever get to it is by setting our own personal attainable goals and in the process of achieving them, becoming better people--becoming the best people we can individually be in the span of a lifetime.
