The Enigma

What mystery binds his poesy,
     what purpose is behind his art: 
to pose, “To be, or not to be?”
     confronts the self-reflecting heart?

What destiny has this poet,
     what future prospects wait for him,
when his words pretend to know it,
     but the skeptics won't explore them?

Truth's cryptic message hides in rhymes, 
     chameleon-like, and spreads as memes, 
disguised, rewritten several times,
     to fit his coded, programmed themes.

The Enigma of this poesy's rhyme,
     and process, meant for the clever mind,
to search their inmost, heartfelt clime,
     to peel back the puzzle's layered rind.
