Inside the Matrix 
by Suzie Lockhart 

Ice melting away
I see it shimmering
Surely a diamond’s matrix
For I spot it!
Glimmering
.
Beckoning me
The rock within dwelling
A collector’s dream
I wade into frigid waters
Considering
.
How precious this stone
How little to refine
The edges already perfect
Ignore the cold for something
Divine
.
Unaware… I go deeper
Desiring what I see
The water pulls me under
The sparkling gemstone has
Me.

Morbid Metamorphosis:
Terrifying Tales of Transformation

Metamorphosis occurs every day as caterpillars become sweet fluttering butterflies, tadpoles become gorgeous frog princes and chameleons become one with the beauty of nature – but you won’t find any of that here.

The transformations you’re about to witness are unnatural, sometimes gruesome and deeply psychological. They will make you question reality and take your mind places it was never meant to go.
