Enlightening Lightning

Loving blue flowers
Her eyes spark like lightning
Lightning makes things float
In her great green eyes
The heaviest things fly
The elephants soar across the expansive sky
And the insects drop like paperweights
Into the center of the blue flowers
Which is colored red
For the blood in the soil
Dyes it and the dirt
The color of a dead soul
The dead soul that refuses to fly
No matter how heavy
How deteriorated and ashen
Like a hydrangea bathed
In crimson acid
But suddenly the lightning realizes
That elephants shouldn’t float
And the insects shouldn’t drop
But her green eyes are still conducting
Lightening like lightning rods
They scan the sky and turn it purple
As the heavy things descend
And the light things ascend
Like they should
But she frowns
And decides she doesn’t like things
As they should be
She likes things upside down
And inside out

Suddenly
In her eyes
The stormy sky becomes red with daylight
And the sweet grass turns to razor blades beneath her feet
And the rocks grow legs, tails, and mouths but no eyes
The elephant from earlier begins to talk
Of his poor memory
And the insect’s eyes turn milky white
With blindness
The blue flowers start crying
That they’ve lost their velvet petals
And the only thing left
Is a thorn spiking from it’s
Bleeding core

I found some of the motifs a little repetitive, but theres alot of vivid descriptions and quirky language here which makes it worth reading. Nothing really else to add, keep writing :)
