Existence Enshrined


The rhapsody of rainbow 
melts in morose mélange,
the concoction of colors
bleeds bland in 
shattered silence,
sucked out 
of crumbled core 
of sensuous cloud,
soothing rain rinses 
the stains in broken hearts,
shades of grey paints 
the frayed linen of love,
redundant.

The requiem 
of longing patina
of repentant rose 
resonates melancholic medley
in the portals of petals, 
the faded gloss
turns into tears 
in pearls of mourning dew, 
desiccates uncared
under the summer sun 
of the desert mind,
the wilted flower falls
on weathered gravestone 
of spent passion,
departed.

The cacophony captured 
in the melody of forlorn music,
chaotic symphony floats
out of tune
on disharmonic wave,
strained smiles displayed  
with elusive enactment 
in ostentatious podium of life,
songs turn into echo
of convoluted noise 
in hollow souls,
pretentious.

The intriguing facet  
of listless life 
seen entranced 
through liquefied layers
of cynical stratum,
configures pessimism
in the sunken essence 
of living exaltation,
the apparent aspect
refracts defiled expression 	
of warped existence,
enshrined.
