Futile Foray


uphill climb, 
rigorously relentless
with ambling ambitions 
and schematic stratagem,
blueprinted blatantly
on the blank 
parchment of marooned mind,
sketched skillfully
with chameleon color shift,
transiently transfixed.

gripping gravity 
of transcendental time
of the loaded past
pulls back incessantly
the strings of present,
fastening in retrospect
the incoherent network
of faltering footsteps
at the refurbished root
of existential essence.

intent inertia  
of living force 
creates proactive
causal momentum 
of tumultuous time configured,
permeates the perception
of the fourth dimension.

construed continuum 
of elusive eternity
strives to unveil ineffectually
the shrouded acuity
at the summit of actuality,
emotionally evasive, 
abortive climb connotes 
futile foray
to somewhere intangible.
