Convoluted Consciousness


rainbow rhapsody 
morphs momentarily 
into 
morose mélange
of 
shredded exuberance 
bleeding colors 
from 
chromatic clouds
of 
twilight zone 
embroidered ephemerally  
by 
sunset spectrum
permeates profoundly 
as 
ingrained insignia
of 
cobalt lattice
of 
broken heart 
painting blue
love linen
           f r a y e d....

receding requiem 
of 
remote roses 
resonates melody 
in
tragic concerto 
of 
melancholic medley
as
petals wilt
with
forlorn feelings
while                                                                                                                
dripping teardrops 
of 
mourning dew
on 
floral luster
                fading 
desiccates desolate 
in 
somber sunshine 
of 
marooned mind
flagging flowers 
make motif
of
withered wreath 
for 
decedent passion
           o b s c u r e....
 
convergent cacophony
accrues dissonance 
                  relentless
in 
entropy cauldron 
of 
disharmonic music
as 
snarled symphony
of                              
dismantled tune 
                   incoherent 
on 
refrain ripples
                   discordant
configured contorted  
in 
strained smile 
sneers sense 
                   inane   
of 
lonely life
where 
sanguinity songs 
transform deplorably
into 
nonsensical noise                               
echoed errantly 
by 
reflective soul
                 a r c a n e....

life’s leitmotif
                 listless 
seen skeptically
through 
cynic lens
                indolent
of 
distorted essence     
magnifies manifold 
into 
crooked contortion 
of 
convoluted consciousness 
                a b e r r a n t....
