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 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
