Denouement

Denouement

The plot thickens broadens in plastered confused juxtapositions
over time there and then weaves tapestries lost unfound caught

Viscous tears dried out shed rivers searching oases oceans of love
squeeze suffering hatred solid misconceptions scripted resolve 

Crocheted dreams unsnarled in disguise colour rainbows stain-bows
stain blows and arrows offer inkblots from coiled council reconcile 

Waters cascades cataclysmic beginnings alleviate alluvion’s weight
skirmish tease entice droplets of truths splashing change alteration

Naïve native losses childish unadulterated tangential torrents unfold
allude inundate delude adulthoods’ illusions commence from afresh

Under the bridges of ricocheted echoes trickle drops from Styx to
Ganges feed and contend with the seagulls and vultures of life

The story line concocts and conceives tell retells and remembers
the past as it blends narrates a misty final initiation’s webbed spray

Resolute resolution wets the gills washes clouds spins them around
until springs guzzle project thoughtful narration to entangle once more

Denouement Renewal De-new-ment confer contain depositions repositioned
as some tangling wisdom posits one swims in the same ocean never again

Thank you so much Charlie. We got to disentangle, that is one cause and effect of poetry.

Thank you and thank you for the contest. It triggered something and to be honest, I did not know what denouement meant and had to look in the dictionary. That is what the soup does for me. Kai
