Conjured Chameleon

For the contrived inducement 
of the fixated being, 
an aligned identity personified,
changes in self-devised palette 
of metamorphosed color mélange,
while the conjured chameleon, 
slyly cocooned,
paints surreptitiously 
the shape-shifted portrait
                                    d e c e p t i v e.

In ostensible enactment 
of life’s incredible drama, 
performance perfected in one-act play 
with obsessed passion parodied,
gilds the corollary crafted by alchemy,
an axiomatic designed drive
induces the wily shift 
from one actor to another 
                                    c o n t r i v e d.

Out of the limelight, 
the covert colors fade  
on virtually made-up visage,
the pallid original face 
morphs mystically into 
veracity mirror of actuality, 
reflects the real identity depiction, 
painted by primal hues of facade 
of distinctive disposition 
                                         e p i t o m i z e d.

The spasm of pragmatic perception 
splits the mirror, 
the shards of shattered pretence 
in the debris of demolished conceit
disappears in the crypt of obscurity
                                         d i s c a r d e d.

The transformation creates the eluding entity, 
an alien in its reinvented realm,
completes the illusory pattern
designed by the paradigm of contrast 
ingrained in symbolized persona
                                        d i v er g e n t.
