Persistence

The stage was brilliant...
The act intense...
The player, a zealous soul...
Accolades galore...
Applause unusual...
All defunct now that the show’s done...
Accept the curtain gracefully, for merits never lose their charm..

The road was smooth...
The chariot divine...
The places, gorgeous charms...
Nature benevolent..
Friends compassionate...
All lost in mist now that the journey’s over...
Accept the destination gracefully, for incarcerated images never flee...

The cover was alluring...
The story poignant...
The characters, demure yet brave...
Plots addictive...
Thoughts mystical...
All shut behind now that the book’s read...
Accept the conclusion gracefully, for perceptions never fade away...

The drink was enticing...
The dancers elegant...
The music, enchanting to the core...
Crowd exhilerated...
Ambience delightful...
All gone down the drain, now that the tavern’s closed...
Accept the departure gracefully, for addictions never deceive...

Catch-22

Fight he would,

Come back he would,

With vengeance, with all his valour...

But he would lose the battle

Way before it would commence..

Way before he flaunts his sword..

Way before the blowing trumpet fills his veins with rage and fury...

A casual gaze at the rival crowd

Wouldn't find a face he dislikes..

Wouldn't find a soul he loathes...

Wouldn't find a mind he could refute with all his tremulous heart..

Wavelengths undetected, prayers unanswered,

All would tear apart his defence...

Dilemma, embossed in rusty gold (chemically possible..)

Haunting memories of a mythical Rain God's son...

"Incarnations no more..". announced a feathery crown...

"Go, see and Conquer, if u can..."

Sarcasm from the divine holiness...

He knows, he decides, he taunts and he aids...

He is in command, he holds the gauntlet..

The knight is new to a warfront so intricate..

His eyes, cold and weary

Devoid of fear, courage, hatred or love..

Give him another dimension..

Lend him an axis...

Let him device his theorems...
