Retrospective Inclinations

Retrospective Inclinations 

Inclinations toward the philosophical nature of mankind 
Imitations of awe and wonder and the subtly refined
Insinuations of an action that is considered ill-defined 
Illuminations of the atmosphere that circulates in her mind 

Catastrophic consequences for those who refuse to consider cost
Misanthropic measures as they contemplate what they have lost 
Philharmonic overtures that adorn the cultured and the loft
Telescopic telomeres that combine technology as she seems soft 

Incorporations of conversations that imply a sense of dread 
Consolidations of invitations that leave the bride unwed 
Palpitations of consecrations that conjure inside her head 
Affirmations of visitations that come and go from her bed 

Luminous possibility among the distorted convolution
Furious credibility that promotes a transfigured delusion 
Spurious eligibility as she writhed about in confusion 
Injurious sensibilities that draw unnecessary conclusions

Awakening contemplations that preside in elevated thought 
Mistaking conversations for something that can be bought 
Berating intonations for a concept that needs to be fought 
Negating imitations of a notion that is over wrought 

Visionary eloquence forming from the twighlight sky
I am weary of the inference as the tears well in my eyes 
Timothy Leary fades into irrelevance as the earth begins to die 
Commissary for the petulance I feel from the nature of mankind 

Radiance and insight fight for grace and kindness to emerge undefeated 
The gradients of light that fractal outwards when repeated 
Innocence and delight combine to have the malevolent deleted 
Convalesce inside the retrospective thought that you have completed
