Dismantled Rainbow


Fragile resolve aspires 
to capture the residual rainbow, 
weaves the lattice of life 
with spectral ribbons,
turns into a self-destructive 
psychosis syndrome
that fails to fling 
the insane illusion 
in the cloud of dreams,
for it has hypnotic leverage 
on the mind, 
mangled by 
s   t   o   r   m.

Wedged by the splitting bevel 
of slashing time,
the frail fragments of failure 
get lacerated from life,
scatter on the path
to the rainbow, 
yet untraveled, 
meanders marooned
in debris of derelict dreams,
disappear down the deep sinkhole 
of dusky oblivion. 

In lucent mystique mind,
transmuting thoughts 
flash on
ebony emotions.
Absolved of self-qualm
psychic crystal sparkles 
in sense stars’ aurora flare,
traces the prime trajectory
from the cosmic soul’s 
nebulous abyss,
within.

In the mesmeric meadow
of the inner topography, 
seraphic shadows dance mystified
with gorgeous sequined glitter 
of the sensuous stardust 
in the tune of
buoyant bliss.
The discernment mindscape 
makes the montage 
of the existential rainbow,
d  i  s  m  a  n  t  l  e  d.
