ADRIFT

 

ADRIFT

 

Nightmarish confluence, well remind,

Youth joins adolescence rewind,

Phases encountered nightmare,

Crumble discipline controls fire, (1)

 

Burned everything lust attempt,

Mind blind played, do contempt,

Human limbs if hot lava red hot,

Subtle desire surreal dream cut, (2)

 

Every dawn hope crashed plight,

Physical pleasure is paramount, lit,

Lit in heart fumes cover thought,

Absurd desire faced life wrought, (3)

 

Dreamed minarets, concubines,

Thousand Arabian nights times,

Romanticism is erroneous perfect,

Stood tall those days, spell effect, (4)

 

Business runs empire inherited,

Money wine women, lives united,

Gold, when flowed like wine, alas,

Rudderless lifeboat defined class, (5)

 

Born with golden spoon comfort,

Luxurious mood delirious escort,

Education tumbled study quietly,

Female company car bike lightly, (6)

 

Where is money, con funny, mix,

Drop out, heads company in jinx,

None to advice owed staff cower,

They depend bowed less answer, (7)

 

Ego arrogant mind confluence fit,

Path for destruction drunk greet,

Delighted, the darkness in front,

Chasm separates realities taunt, (viii)

 

Lack, knowledge wisdom, actions,

Blind mind king, life adrift, runs,

No hold, no bar, confesses feared,

Lost business dream disappeared, (9)

 

Missing ladies, midnight, parties,

Empty wine glass, pleasantries,

Quiet night, shattered, delirious,

Stupefied, revived at hospital serious, (10)

 

Open eyes, watch faces, life sadden,

Fearful, praying, crying, worried, laden,

Alacrity found life sobbing aloud,

Saved, our boss recovered proud, (11)

 

Confess to you pal seen death lit,

Blinding light, return sense, greet,

Get your life once more life ashore,

Adrift blind mind soul feel secure, (12)

 

Great is boon life learn automatic,

Changed on a medical bed, ascetic,

Resolve, thank Lord, undying faith,

Adolescence to adulthood wealth, (13)

 

Burning spirit, evolve fine recluse,

Nature changes immature profuse,

Invisible divine art blossom shine,

Bridal dress Nature no concubine, (14)

 

Wine delirium romances fade well,

Nectar of pristine beauty yet dwell,

Adrift, uncared, again gay abandon,

Youth juvenile spirit wise paragon. (15)
