Cobalt Blue
For there unto death....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is the sheperd of all life
And whom may stand
Against it's inevitable, and
Gripping hands?
Infectious merchants
Selling the here and now
As if there were no tomorrow
These prima donnas
Of falderals faller....
Unable to behold; to perceive
The paulownias flower
That shall bloom
Beyond this winters fornix
Of their reasonings and thoughts....
Live for today they say
Aspire toward the towers, of all
Which you may hold
Glitterings stardust dreams
While they marvel, at plenaries
Scrupulous veils of mystery
That permeates, this perplexing
Of their naively woven souls....
Perpetuity, they somehow believe?
These vessels, upon lifes chartered course
Cobalt blue waters, of their own
Where atop, these glossitis ghostships sail
Their mast against the wind
Of manifest destinies....
Self-fulfilling prophecies; not knowing
That death is the sheperd, truly
Which shall forever guide them, into
Their eternal, and unforeseen port!?
These infectious merchants
Selling, seeing, being, merely
Concubines, for the here and now....
These condors of the new worlds flight
.............Of.............
