Scruples

SCRUPLES

an enduring
culture
with
   charismatic
sensibilities

audacious
&romantic
cajoling &
 simmering beneath

 increasing
  impulses &
desires
 with disturbing
designs so
symbolic

 the mood
surprisingly
changed
with troubling
speed
until it
suddenly
  charms
with
poignant
 effect

 the fascination
 complex
&
multifaceted
in character

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.
