Sonata Of Soul


parched buds
in 
shriveled sapling
dismally desolate 
bloom dreams
of 
desiccated dunes
where
aureate sun 
masks mirage 
chased elusively
by
scorched life 
to 
opalescent oasis 
but
ending up 
in 
staking recess
of 
capricious illusion
where
dreams demolish 
in 
deranged debris
of 
castle of cards
collapsing confounded
in 
desert sands 
of 
destiny adrift     

rootless vagabond 
wanders in wasteland
of
wrecked aspiration
mentally morphs
subtly shapeshifts 
to
clandestinely contour 
a lone player 
of 
puppet recital 
showcasing artistically
panorama of life 
articulately abstract
performed to perfection
to 
delusive dictum 
of 
stringed freedom
enjoyed intangibly
in 
artificial act 
persuasively axiomatic 
of 
lingering life
perfected within
psychic sanctum 
of 
patience instilled 
by 
possessed passion   
to 
perform entranced
in sonata
of 
serenading soul
