City Hindsight

Touch of sure voice, taste of fancy; Hurl of hard choice, hope owns story. Urge profound sense, upswing of chimes; Splurge of harsh tense, seal for old times. Lines of sage friend, love won or lost; Echoes that trend, embalm true cost. Endings can tell, etchings that hurl; Kind sanguine sell, keeping the swirl. Use knows the way, upsets feed frown; Apt words that stay, attend like clowns. Now twilight comes, next lonely trip; Yield feelings numb, your heart once ripped. Exit the stage, enter the cold; Wear fading rage, ways once untold. So much for change, smile out of style; Opt to stir range, orbs then worthwhile. Wise is the man, weaving the dream; Sail to new lands, stray curious theme. Will cannot stay, wants out of date; Indulge last play, intent breaks plate. Soon to be naught, such is our lot; End of sure knot, end of sure plot. Wit fails at last, worn-out form fades; Attend to fast, appease last trade. You know your place, you feel your end; Still failing face, succinct fears tend. Health once savvy, hurl of power; Aim most steady, aid that tower. Rich feisty form, risk laid most plain; Reveal such norms, rich peace not vain. You forged a route, yarns in sure feel; Apt ins and outs, ask just to heal. Yields of a mind, you come to know; End vocals find, awkward moves slow. Mind how things end, move to exit; Expect new blends, mull thoughts tacit. Leon Enriquez 02 November 2014 Singapore
