Brace For Impact

Pillar of society, creme de la creme, important person,
   one to be reckoned by indeed.
One who's untouched by palls, frails near a radiant ray
   growing escorts doth proceed.
Voice of distinction whose speeches are unchallenged
   by its assertion that's decreed.
Unphased episodes courses the agendas, a sequence
   that discerns simper's precede.

A tempestuous dominance succeeds ominously, envy
   malcontents opposition brews.
A reddish rosebud blossom pleasantly teases passing
   precious sinless longing views. 
Momentarily, likely hopefuls sufficed with promiscuity,
   as castles are in the air amuse.
Tease now meets, precious turns valuable, the sinless
   goes erringly, a longing peruse.

It's Victor Victoria all o'er again, contentious contempt 
   prompt convenient conveyance.
Spun wove a collaring, intrigues the unconscious prey
   lifeline throbbings flit abeyance.
Reflections forfeited understanding, extending affairs
   remaining heartfelt purveyance.
A cunning round effortlessly played a quagmire knew
   a must to revisit the surveyance.

Gameplayers oriented with odds best strategy, ne'er
   is an even field, someone loses.
The furnishings and ambiance, constant the unwary
   yet, talented eyes espy cruises.
The vibrant and the figurative ignored the trappings 
   materializes oneness' enthuses.
Benumbed by skepticism facilitates a stirring, bestill
   as mesmerizing coequals fuses.

Skulked fogs' ethereal coursing mauling hilltops full 
   as the penthouse lights dwindle.
Midst Aurora's wake a bliss wanes, as lights reclaim
   the wilting as a mint thorn tingle.
The advent baffles confused as concealed cameras
   videos live and reporters mingle.
Crushed stand, a ring falls, plays another team, not
   alone, brace for impact, a kindle.
