Memory Menagerie


mystique mist 
of opaque veil 
designs in desolation
amorphous ambiguity  
swathes with singularity
penultimate pathway
obscure 
at terminal time-post 
of future crypt
            a m b I g u o u s

sunset swansong 
in transient twilight   
resonates
in void valley 
of abandoned present
silhouetted still
on somber skyline 
of indigo filigree
morphing into
melancholic epithet
           e n g r a v e d

turmoil threads  
embroider morbid motif
at pallid tassel 
of obsessed clouds
latticed by passion clumps
with fervor fringe
             f r a y e d 
 
sensuous storm
from onyx horizon 
ornate once 
with halcyon hues
constructs chameleon chimera
of configured illusion
on yearning canvas 
ablaze in cold flame 
of dormant desire
             f r o z e n

memory menagerie
from burnt relic   
flies away 
in wasteland whirlwind    
            u n b o u n d

hope shards adrift
in poignant current
of fluid psyche 
ductile
flow flustered 
in sullen stream                                                                       
of billion teardrops
in twilight terrain
reminiscent
of remnant rays
of sublime sunset
shape shifting 
to intuition violin
           r e s o n a n t         

symphony echoes 
the last vibrato
behind fallen curtain   
for the lone audience
latent concerto
suffuses listless life
with tuneful resonance 
of sonorous sanguinity
              e t e r n a l
