OBSCURE

Ah, as fallen hope lies idle,
Passion, raging, doth yet unbridle-
In the blinding stare of dreaming eyes,
A vision none else could realize.
Therefore just a misinclined thought.
There to just while away and rot.
Wherefore fervor bleeds away,
Till even Pride's too scarred to stay.

With the qualm of a dreaming child,
Chaste in heart, with mercies mild.
Free falling to a world, misgiven.
Cast out the heavens, rent and riven.
With abstained heart and tear-stained eye,
The requiem of a tainted passer-by,
Who, by the skein of Fate's entangled scheme-
Extenuates within a life of dream.

In such short time half, now, hath fallen prey-
To the lurid stench of cerebral decay.
With perturbed views none else embrace,
Reality is mine, alone, to face.
For no one's ardor holds a light to mine,
No, even the heavens, I outshine.
Yet my dream, my life, though innocent and pure,
Seems perverted, distraught, infectious, obscure.

Michael Anderson

And so, being young and dipt in folly
I fell in love with melancholy,
But dreams - of those who dream as I,
Aspiringly, are damned, and die:

Cerebral is quite right. This is indeed a convoluted and complex rhyme. Well done.
