Emotions circumscribed

 

 

 

The somber shadows of emotions,

Somber, they ne’er were.

When once breathed a maverick soul

In the kingdom of the enlightened poor

 

In his sunshine moments he basked,

Crude emotions unmasked…

Couched in a nook, when in trepidation

Leaned against the door, in eager anticipation

In seventh heaven, when his dreams bore

In deep recess, with misfortunes galore

Upright upon a bog, with a lame vanity,

In dark murky waters, with a crushed sanity

Adorned a coat of pun, his humorous attire,

A mouthful of sarcasm, his gun of satire

 

Like a pride of mighty lions,

His savage emotions roared aloud.

Alas! They belied him…

Like the soporific winter, by a cuckoo so proud!

 

A sly smile…

A brilliant dawn he envisions.

The splendid flight of a falcon

Free from the shackles of emotions.

 

His contours must he deceive

For him his territory to rule

Must see a half empty jar,

A jar half-full…

 

Like a wild stallion in reins,

His emotions begged liberty

But the con turned a deaf ear,

He knew ‘twas for prosperity.

 

Veiled he sauntered,

Upon his fecund soil

Glowed, as a candle in its burning best

A long long wick, not a drop of oil

 

 

He flaunted his dexterity.

To stand tall, to stand brave

All his cards fell in place

Ace, king, queen, and knave

 

Many a summer later,

His beloved lil’ throws,

“In the pool of radiance, had you dived?”

Laughs aloud the grey head...

“Sweet o child, my emotions, I had circumscribed…”
