The Final Toast!

"What does light have to do with darkness?...."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Like mixing champagne of miscreants

Within a metaphoric glass

Of crystalline stones....

Mingling amid these guises

Fatidities of peremptory phantasms

Oracular silhouettes of the predisposed

Rising in unison unto a toast

Toward the destiny of their very own....

Whisperings billowing within their glasses

These phantoms of the Pharaohs final call

Unto finalities masquerading opera

Where on a blackened tie, adorns

The guest of honor; hollowed eyes

Smiling, as he greets them all

Raising his metaphoric glass

To these miscreants, of crystallized stone

Fatidities oracularly made realities

Standing before phelonions robes of fallacy

Fantasias final chords....

Personifications, blood red rose

Playing, now, before the final gathering

Of eternities silhouettes, forever, predisposed!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.............The final toast.............

I liked the comments you left on Wasted, you know what's funny and great, that alot of my poems are written, like I've said before, like a great wind blowing through...this was one of them, written without forethought. I never saw the meaning you saw behind wasted, until you made your comments - but yes, that is such a perfect way to see the poem. I love thinking there is purpose behind my words, that even I as the

Like Deneen says...filled with metaphors and depth! Could you be talking of the final days of the election or ....other issues...?? Whatever flight your fancy has taken us, it is always supreme writing, and deeper than most of us are able to go ...your wise ways are remarkable! Fondly ~ Carrie
