Contours of Lasting Charisma
Springtime facade shines on convivial tapestry
Monet’s luminous landscape of vibrant vivacity
Within sparkling blue lagoon of dreaming eyes
On luscious lips the petals of blooming lotus lie
Painted on the satin canvas of cute countenance
Designing narcissistic features of innate elegance
With the hues of Dorian Gray syndrome subdued
By pervading pride of indomitable youth imbued.
On the withered canvas the wheels of time creep
The spider of winter weaves web of wrinkle deep
Weary eyes look forlornly at weathered wasteland
Wilted lips lose luster of lotus once luringly grand
Hedonist psyche refuses to accept the fated loss
Even when time comes for the last mile to cross
What is a face if not a metaphor for a panorama
Snapshot shaped in contours of lasting charisma.
