Analysis of Epitaphs on floating winds



Epitaphs cling on floating winds
Etched along footprints in entangled seas
Vanishing ironies of Geothean dreams
within the cultured civil silence of men
condemned within the raging times
between the relative of absolutes
Contingent within its destiny

Conceptual schemes organic in its structures
embellished contradictions of being
critical realism within the belly of the whale
lay dormant on the shores of time
twilight dawns within the crystal
ambers of purple haze
foreshadows stretched within exhausted trepidations
bent towards life’s last becoming

lost then found within the world of love and hate
beyond the shadows of thought and action
within the anarchy of its authority
nostalgic distance of histories
of future pasts long gone
within these times of trembling fears
