Enthrallments, allurements, the wholeness, totality,
paroxysms, frenzies and eruptions,
maneuver and dance, include and comprise,
twirl and prance, to pose and confess.
Elixir of spirit, dashes, verve and vim,
the bonds and connections, textures and touches,
humanity, benevolence, knows to tie and link.
Absolutism, the embroiled repression,
despotism, cruelty, and domination,
pretend and profess, silhouettes of doubts
a conferred and allotted, choice and query,
compound and concert, tad and trifle.
The orbit of thought, orders and demands,
serenities, tranquilities, the maze of edicts,
poises and miens, statutes and mandates,
evolve and conceal, exert and wield,
the wisdom of will, does handle and yield.
Selections and choice, certainty of core
sovereign elixir, the tints and tinctures,
salute and gesture,
the soul does survive, empathy and postures.
Then, ricochets and rebounds,
reflections and echoes, surmount and attain,
when, the glimmers and glows, flickers and twinkles,
conquer and defeat, the hindrances to reach.
The earth swirls, streams to rise,
culpability to hurtle, blames and tears,
the dawn of favors, trinkets and tokens,
persistent facets, to loom and reveal,
pursuit of thunders, would thrive and seize,
angles well within, curlicue and succeed.
The self and the soul,
grasp and gather, fathom and fulfill
requests occur, acquire and ensue,
the breeze caress, and keep touching,
the air tender, ice melts away.
The sky is blue, horizons are sheer,
to roll and revolve, to move and troll,
the maze of prudence, ambit of perceptions,
demanding essence, to leap and flinch.
To lurch and soar, to reel and roll.
the mode is to tame, ardent temptations,
fervent and zealous, perceptive flames,
the chirps and chirrups, do perceive the fame.
Convolute, intwine, interweave and ponder,
Decrees, reflections, rumbles and roars,
to seek and reach,
the force and vigor, the might and valor,
to join and link.
Prevail and reign, aberrations and ordeals,
tolerate and tame, the gusts and winds,
durations and lengths, varnish or stain,
convince and defy, the pursuing yearns;
