Panorama
In the mist shrouding mystically
the journey’s penultimate mile
at the fringe of the fading pasture
of the un-blossomed future obscure
in the twilight hour transient
the sunset swansong resonates
for the forlorn life silently spent
and becoming silhouetted still
against the shrinking skyline of lost luster
seeing the last sparkle of the dying day.
The twirling threads of turmoil
entwined in seamless motif
with the passing clouds of passion
surging with the sensuous storm
to the unwary horizon dark
halcyon once with splendorous hues
tinting chameleon transformation
on the convoluted yearning canvas ablaze
from its burning last part
the ashes fly away.
The shards of the splintered hope
in the swirling squal of agony relentless
afloat on the melancholic waves
of melted fervor flowing in the stream of tears
the remnant rays of sanguinity
survive still in the final flashes
of the sinking sun not yet morbid
fabricating the last lattice latent
of the tapestry of dream
swathing the panorama of the promising life.
