giving shocks to the fingertips.

soft curved lines,

a complete absence of edges or notions.

left eye attracts iconic aura,

and right eye a desires retreat into silence.

inferred and perseverance of passage  

mix her own paint with metaphors of morbid features,

a formidable presence that possesses.
