** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Prologue to an explicit epilogue Reveal the irony of a life construed To eulogize the memoir of an ephemeral creation So fragile,powerless to forfend nature's belligerence As is surreal in a louche's eye a lode of gold So is nostalgia for a mind lost and forgone Confluence of solitary thoughts forgone Reminiscences unrevealing for a lofty epilogue Cryptic images evince unfathomable gold Under the bars of rust so hastily construed Faded and fallen, the vision under neural belligerence The mind lost to the beauty of creation Evergreen is the ardor that entwine creation But unable to contemplate is the mind of what life has forgone Yet the twigs of trust shied the wisps of hope with belligerence Annals of the life long gone, portrayed in the life's epilogue The ebb and the flow belied by the ignorance construed Awaiting the comfort of a heart of gold Forlorn memories colored in gold Loitering through the unsure path of creation The yearn to rejoin with its mates rightly construed To leave behind the life that reveal the joy forgone To start anew without a prologue or epilogue To emerge without a lour or a sign of belligerence Benign thoughts maligned by untaught belligerence Of impudent seekers of unrevealed gold As they glower at the retrograde revelation in the epilogue Of a life wasted and ousted by creation With the fertile undercurrent and the urge forgone Of the euphemisms and euphuism wrongly construed Profess the onset of a faith lovingly construed Rise above the intransigent belligerence Earn the gratitude of what the world has forgone Add colors to the background of gold Gather the fallen for they lend color to creation Pave the path for an evergreen epilogue Solitary path construed with a heart of gold Untouched by the belligerence that mar creation To bring back memories forgone for a golden epilogue ***************** Author's note:Meaning of louche -disreputable in a rakish or appealing way Meaning of euphuism -an artificial, highly elaborate elaborate way of writing or speaking Thank you for reading through the poem.Your response would be valuable for me. |
