Poem Title:
Poem
Black boxes atop a vintage shelf adorned with dust of opinions groan. Oh they are overweight with burdens quivering to shed a few genuine thoughts but they burn in the fire of red dragon that engulfs snow-clad valleys somewhere or those driven by processed thoughts cocooned in silver foils of inclination Insane frenzy still remains for verdicts declared by those deemed righteous yet this orchard boasts of supremacy. I've bubbled a thousand crimson ideas nascent and pious they seemed to me. Alas! we all have been presumptuous every human is conditioned thus to be. A folklore lost in the Indian ocean fills my blue cup to the brim 'succumb to the obvious or breathe'. My bougainvillea seeds sprout in cacophony, I let them dance in multiverse of drops my eyes witness dimensions in perspectives stagnant rivers now rush to travel as far as my mind opens rusty gates displaced neutrons explode in a Big Bang here's to another beginning of existence. My mind sprays fragrance of blue roses extinguishing raging flames of supernova. This trench needs to be extended beyond seven seas and continents of Rome, let bees and butterflies fly in unbiased harmony to suck nectar and produce infant honey. I've planted my primrose of valor and hope in the orchard of perspectives at last, wiped dust of assumptions from black box wrapped in banana leaves under oak tree. I'm not free of my opinions but let them be no longer do I succumb to frenzied wars. I've got a song for my cuckoo to orchestrate my tunes absorb opinionated fumes in universe and crush them till they nourish aroma of light that builds an abode for explorers that roam in a luminescent entropy of ideas that flutter around judgement but not pulled down by it pumping superimposed energy to newborn pearls that breathe free with all perspectives.
