fussy deportments, capricious postures, the seal and cover, glaze and varnish,
the volatile and fluctuating torrents and surges, temperamental and moody,
the lions and pumas, cougars and panthers, the voice of instincts, dispose of nature,
remain and linger, resume and endure, perform and persist.
Is it, the core and the hub, center and pivot, or the chest and torso,
containers and coffers, secure the bundle, the gem of passion, the jewel of wonder,
or, the ether, sky, to send florets, ravish devotions, enchant commitments,
only to ponder, treasure of bounty, droplets of water,
oceans plunder the bulbs, rhizomes, which, curtail the motions, stealth the notions.
shines and shimmers, gleams and glows, dazzles and dazes,
not urge commotions, the fusses and stirs, pertain the arches, full of flowers,
twinkles and sparks, glosses and luster, unpeel and unwrap,
break and rupture, unbolt and flee, the veils and covers, the chains and shackles.
Destiny and fortune, kismet and opulence, virtues and faiths,
entails the schemes, commends and contours, to share and expose, inhale and endorse,
where, broken hearts, thwarted allures, foiled and ruined charismas,
the loss and hurt, spirals and swirls, soars and curls, the castles of thoughts,
citadels of healings and exchanges, and the bastions of hominoids’ harmonies and concords.
Red roses flourish, proliferate and thrive, breed and bloom,
the thorns and barbs, spike and spins, compose and marshal, territories and terrains,
the guards, shields, and chaperones, wardens of dreams, companions and attendees—
the clouds sparkling horizons, the angels carrying the burdens,
and the thirsty drought driven pouches and bulges, shimmering the mists and fogs.
While, consolidations, unions, the merging, joining and bracing,
the urges and compulsions, incite and insist,
the cadence and rhythm, the pace and beat, ensure and warrant,
merits and assets affirm and declare, the bond, fixation, pertain and persist.
The coasts, limpid terminuses, the pellucid droplets of faiths and promises,
the waves and surges, murmurs and mutters, seeking elations, raptures, blisses,
whispers do utter, mumbles and babbles, susurrate and divulge,
the maze of aura and force, the web of air and glow, the entity of essence and soul,
the given selection and medley, the carried certitudes and sureties,
enshrine, hallow, and cherish, while the remainder spoils and perish.
Are engendered and spawned, the heart, the hub, and the nub,
the horizons are interminable, and the spheres are vivid.
The oceans, revive and resurrect, startle and amaze,
seas all gathered and spread, to ponder and muse, deliberate and manifest.
The trails are the choices, the solo star shines and honors,
the burden and onus, define and stun,
the circle and the compass, draw and ensue,
the trails and tracks, the routes and the means, propose and draft,
only, not to yield and cede to hollows, not to yoke to falls and follows.
Themes & Interpretations
The Predator’s Wisdom
Lions, pumas, cougars, and panthers embody not chaos but instinctual wisdom—the knowledge of how to persist through volatility without being destabilized by it.
Ruin as Architecture
Broken hearts and thwarted allures become building material. The castles of thoughts, citadels of healings, and bastions of harmonies are constructed from what was broken.
The Thorn as Companion
Thorns are not enemies of beauty but its guardians—wardens of dreams, companions and attendees. Defense is intrinsic to flourishing, not opposed to it.
The Solo Star
Trails are choices, not given paths. The solo star shines by its own light, refusing to yield to hollows or yoke to falls and follows.
