Premiere Contest WinnerConcealed Charisma


The chromatic cords
of splendorous spring 
embroider arcane art
on convivial tapestry
embellished elegance
dramatically drapes 
the luminous landscape 
of vibrant vivacity
as dream-drenched 
blue lagoon 
gets lashed 
by idyllic eyelids 
and
the lotus petals 
of luscious lips
painted poignant 
on silken canvas 
of content countenance
the dulcet design 
of narcissist facade
of innate pride
swathes furtively 
the secret scars	
of suppression syndrome 
expunged. 

The toiling time 
revolves relentless
on convoluted canvas
etched with 
fading felled leaves
of auburn autumn
in life consumed
while
the winter spider 
weaves with strands
of twilight moments 
the ordained web 
with senile streaks 
around hollow eyes 
staring forsaken 
at forlorn fringe 
of weathered wasteland
as the lustrous lips
the fading flowers
lose withered
pristine patina 
hedonist psyche 
refuses to gauge 
the grief of loss
the face morphs 
into metaphor 
for living panorama
captured by 
the sanguine snapshot 
of concealed charisma.
