Desperate desire to grip tighter as bank beckons

Sphere of perfect lustre, waiting -protectively cocooned

Modest tentative gestures, catalysed by a novel faith

Spirit ebbs and flows on tide of joy and duty

Subtle shift in treble and pitch, constricts mind - invokes glitch

Trance of motion infusing thoughts - calm euphoria.

Anticipation so familiar; bitter warmth caressing throat 

Bestowed power to bewitch; orb of grace

Game familiar, purpose defined, direction unclear

Shadow overwhelms light, tending passion gives way to fight

Febrile mind, restrained by panoply of options bereft of meaning

Tendrils of unruly vines seeking firm hold, ever creeping 

Consumed by detail; repeated and refined

Consumed by detail; repeated and refined

Body vacated - alert but motionless in care

Rarely coveted but esteemed by the few

Utopian visions of reality yet unfolded

Staunch iron bars steadfast in resolve

Rumination of misdeeds, regrets so embolden

Congested layers decaying; remnants of time and season...
