Lifaverse
By Richard Thomas Cummings
21st CenturyDeath petals---stalking stems---lethargic leaves;
Crackle life's hue (celestial breeze,
Awaiting behind Destiny's veil)
Amid the visual plains
Of dynasty reborn.
Oh---agony!
Bitter sweet, siphon-tree,
Ravaging away pleading life
Like the persistent infantry.---
(Glory hounds,
And hellish fiends!)
Destiny marked---
By the hound's brittle bite;
(Like the overflowing lava
Of the smelting ore;
Like the soldering sparks,
Colliding with smoldering Fate)
Transcending the path to glory,
And reducing Time's continual blight.
Sufferance pours over the body,
(Like that of the molten liquid)
Purifying life's ecstasy,
Whilst the soul uplifts;---
Arise to the view!
Overcasting earthen skies,
Their placid dance sprang free.
Drifting upon that harmony,
Overlooking shadowy repose
To life's beauty;
Hounded no longer,
(Their baring cry had been cast
Unto the calling)
By Death's pursuing clasp.
Praising percussion
Of empathic eminence;
(Abound frigid startlings,
Amidst the netherworld)
Timidly outreaching
Outskirts of the
Outrance sky.
Dreams of the stars
Among planetary fidelity,
Drift endlessly---
About Creation's illuminance;
And uprises the Eternal Mist,
(Consuming and cascading)
Surrounding sacrosanct soulgeist.
Succumb to the void
Of Time elapsing space,
Whereby darkness
(Back and forth;
Through the orbital rings
Of gaunt stoicism)
Fills the plenary plains.
Behold! the grandeur
Of that is which
Presenting gallantry
(Within the arrival
Of a galleon;
Only to sail upon
Chilled rings unto
The Frozen Hell)
Remorse---yet goes
Unavoided.
Riding waves of Eternity,
(Seeking the Brave: [oh
Harmonious reprisal
Of Life's daunting rings]
To wield a fading hope
Which scathes
The hands of gods)
Only in hopes
To find the Soul's Heaven.
The combining of two souls---
Two rings upon the same path---
Strike an embracing pose,
Amid sanctifying sparks;
(It all starts anew---
Alpha-genesis-reborn)
Only to give creative birth
To the Dynasty Star.
