Mudlarking The Memory
Sun-soaked
spectral topography
sculpts with lattice
of longing
luminescent,
the veering valley
of my lucent life
undulating briskly
in plains of passion
with the cadence
of sensuous stream
swirling sequined euphoria
contented,
clung confident
with bond of sanguinity
to the cluster
of glimmering gold nuggets
carved out
of precious life’s
aureate moments
treasured.
Sediment of essence
ebullient
carried convivial by
ecstasy current,
dazzles as dregs
rolling with restive time
turbulent
in the torrent
of cloud-burst fallen sky,
flows through reminiscence
fervent
to the flood plain
of plaintive obscurity
far.
In ceaseless search
of transferred treasure trove
eroded,
buried besieged
within the strata
stagnant
of time past
stalled,
I wade wistfully
confounded
through engulfing marsh
of quandary
in submerged existence,
excavate the layers
languished
of petrified memory
in twilight hour
tranquil.
In senile shine
of the setting sun
fading fast,
each evanescent moment
propelling surging tide
of turmoil
ebbs out of fleeting mind
ephemeral,
I exhume enthused
relentless
trinkets of remembrance
from sands of time
settled satiated
perpetually,
retrieve in rapture
the gilded instants
mudlarking the memory.
