The Horizons, Distances, and Vistas

The horizons, distances, and vistas,
prospects, spheres, and scopes,
the harmonies, comparations, congruences and resemblances,
mingled and merged with,
the arduous, onerous, and grueling ballets of thoughts;
sneaking and passing by,
the flying temptations and lures,
the inward murmurs, the mutters and mumbles,
the mixed perceptions, turbulent views;
ensued and countered, though forming flashes to drip and ooze.
The timid lines, slants, and styles, reticent starts, passages, and stops,
and, the contrasts, distinctions, and disparities,
tentative deliberations, ponderings, and reflections,
the silents and cagy coagulations, abandoned rays and fallouts,
coalesce and congeal, commemorate and conceal,
tantrums, frenzies, and rages, recap, demand, and repeat;
furies, wraths, and tempers, mingle, merge and bundle,
conflate, coalesce, and not to plunder,
the chest, trunk, and coffer, bolted, barred, and sealed,
said, not to be shaken or wobbled;
tendencies, propensities, and proclivities,
are not presumed or adopted to barter,
while, reduced or deducted, and dithered and faltered;
though, the chest and trunk, are awarded and cherished,
and esteemed and worshipped,
extolled and exalted, glorified and adored,
still, it takes and craves to be meandered and rambled,
the husk and the hulk, and the surprise to be haunted.
the spirit and core, the hub and the heart,
consent and approve, endorse and bolster,
to distance and detach, avoid and evade,
the hindered decrees, diktats, and declares,
banned and barred contents, the bares and blanks,
succumb hurdles and snags,
rejoice and cheer to rub and to chafe,
the gist and the nubs, tarnish the snaps.
Denotations, suggestions, the overtones
blunders, bloopers, gaffes and awes,
not to surmount, nor to transcend,
not to summon, nor to spellbind,
render the motions, to judge, to surpass.
Offers, submissions, to nurture and raise,
the pillars of content, props of substance,
the masts, symbols, and cyphers of virtues and merits,
soar and rise, climb and circle, and glide and fly;
Merely to conform, concur, and concede,
the sojourns and stops, implosions and wreckages,
though, destinies coincide, and the souls befit convinced,
the routes and pursuits, are spread and paved, pure and certain;
twitch and commence, and join the moments,
the jolts and shudders, the thoughts and notions,
the dawn of acclaim, the itinerary of depth, are set to conquer
