Compos Mentis
Exiled notions,
Vigilantly reflective
And artistically volatile,
Irritate my mind
From the cruel
Albeit safe distance
Of monotony
Intrusive by design
Of knowing not respite
They mourn as all
Whose lucid sighs
Are inherent
To the avariciously lewd
Adorned in childish misery
Accursed,
They grapple to understand
The complexity of a tear
As a rapid embitterment
Disruptive to harmonic dreams
And notice not how idled grief
Descendent along their livid lines
Of contemplation
As being life entranced
With premised past
Nor see as why
The autumn pales
Unto delicate ambers
When falling into fashion
With marbled tombs.
