Sunshine and misty memories of yesterday

Frolicking testimonials undone thru time

Repeals candle, a softly shadowed gesture

Shielded passages cajoled under spirals dip

Fluttered continuance a livelihoods destiny

Mounting excitement, theaters muted rising

Gem vibrant connectivity, socially jeweled

Hovered sanctions in voyeur's special tend

Mystical unveiling from nightly umbrella's 

Paired eternity dancing within twinkle-toe

Reasoning's laudable switcher, proof positive

Heaven's bottled finishing, tightly concealed

Glassy shenanigans upon a colorful display

Canvassed beauty, liquid to shiny revealing

Parables dubious beginning totally reversed

Unchained compliance, timely minutes debut

Tomorrows sandy images heated of amour

Kindled before spirits lapping involvement

Intrusive brevity sheds moonlight's glowing

An evening's watery finality awaits the dawn

Spoiled affirmation, dancing under full of the moon

Reason, thy challenged testimonial brightly shinning

Clever understanding, timely minutes directed allure

Winded estimations, spun unto a mirror's reflection

Verily we decipher the branded fragrance of demur

Staged compliance undone to cravings slipped allow

Languished fondling, cramped insistence of prepare

Salvages blunder, life's escapism; meanings profound

Gravity plagued, before a delightful unsigned shunt 

Happenstance evidenced between colors reverence

Caricatures balance, the featured visual holograph

Yesterday's temperance, suns chronicle truthfulness

Beauty, delightful rendering of memories past remit

Solemn acceptance, tried correlation to blind smug

Grimaced viewing, sync's patient attachment strong

Thumbed revealing to a sweet glamorous unfolding

Pressured squeezed diamonds, a rewards accolade

Examples stone dredged futility, a system follow-up

Beginnings sanctioned promises, whisper delivered

Tomorrow's acclimation, something beyond apathy

Thing change, and wander into the ambiguous void

We in-vision a presence unto victory/s silent deltoid

Raising our conscious, above destinies stolen reward

Driving's participation, again a today's average avoid

Lightnings explosive revealing, with a blind concur

Theaters onscreen performance, weathering unsure

Brevities conclusive announce, calmly ventured pure

Mysteries reveal, the convoluted and sanctioned cure

Verily prisms dine, under a sectional understanding

Peopled followings secrete a venomous demanding

Treacherous, are the terrible recurrences rewinding

Yesterday's triumphant review, memories deciding

Patriots analytical revive, under starry moons rise

Lifetimes borrowed allow, thy brevities lost connive

In sanctioned testimony, we crave a blessed revive

Always, we strive to involve purities timed demise

Boundaries traveled understanding of bereavement

Sentimental articulation, evolved of a contentment

Refulgent blazing of a temperate heated derailment

We suckle, remnants historically tonal sustainment

Witnessing the true inner self reveals much

A tell of a tale cannot be overlooked as such

There's no room for denial once finally seen

Nor can one walk away from its written theme

However we try to hide, secrets deeply inside

Livings strained attendance welcomes the ride

Every broken heart will never ever truly mend

Because first love is simply cast among the wind

While there remains vibrant life in all its glory

Something always comes to change the story

Taking things to a higher elevation than now

Leaves one still figuring the what, why, and how

Whenever we find smooth road to our paradise

Situations arise revealing a new flavored spice

The tokens cherished in beginnings new trial

Are lost on the never-ending journeyed mile

Our migration to a more familiar resting place

Something dedicated in time for inner space

Will reveal that which eludes the conscious realm

Making us either sailors, or captains of our helm

Talking's run, of a pressured global destination

Supposition's wander , granted theaters renew

Today's fantasy, salvaged under a visual benign

Composition's cavalier, times distant following

Fellowship, spinning through complicated eyeing

Territories serendipitous abolition, long withered

Brevities salutary, incited of vivacious conniving

Patronage dancing of vibrant, colorful allowing

Yesterday's polarized white-out, blind fearfulness

Miseries connect, bearable fellowship to a spawn

Principal acknowledgement, tinged pale reviewing

Governed tribunal, sterile patronage inside privilege

Weaved conjuncture, spiraling under lighted array

Glowing aspirations, slide just pass a longings emit

Sisyphean boundaries ground under continuousness

Thunder plus, an obvious run-of-the-mill remember

Levities themed remittal, thy characters remorse

Tempered spatial blemishes, from scopes infusion

Remembered biopsies inside savored connectivity

Windows glassed blemish, a cloudy live reminder

My alone me, runs through midnight's shadow

Lonely followings are alive and in total control

Beginnings void, inside disconnects revealing

A weary soldier fights under a darkened sky

Desperation, the shaky follow-through in time

Outcomes sorted bumbling to aspirations end

Times concluded compromise upon awakening

Suns thin reminder, a hollow clear dissolution

Muddy suffrages blended of traveled engage

Frightful homage to nighttimes exposed plea

Destiny's travail, lifes sustained pilgrimage

Livings slug trail, a proof of life importance

Existence spawned between two fiery plateau's

Sheets of  morn and night, complexities at bay

Mine vibrancy dancing, the sky-footed shuffle

Likelihoods bouncing, pressure filled plodding

Weathered effervescent grind, tomorrows footfall

Entities, wander through times cloudy remorse

Today's ticking, to a lifelong participation game

Again, I continue harboring instant gratifications

Times insistence, grueling under a pressure

Warped beyond an imaginations collectivity

Spinning collages, descriptive encountering

Trail destinies affronted, predisposed ignite

Spatial interactions, within  today's borrow

Poison, arrows from apprehensions archery

Infinitesimal beginnings, throttling display

Non-descript followings, a theater dressing

Grievous upheaval queried unto frolicked spiel

Visionary demanding, post withered to inept

Trifles connectivity elusive to mingled reflect

Dreamy fondling, timely minutes withdrawal

Sunshine's bewilderment, morns eased arrival

Brightly overbearing upon recognition's peek

Creepy onslaught, dancing through livelihood

Storefront objectivity, timed disillusional allure

Balanced interaction of mysterious nurturing

Suckled before visionary's revalidated accept

Harbored tribulation sanctioned requirement

Pacification, long unto tabulated introductions

Borrowed existence a times gunned aftermath

Yesterday entwined before memories dying end

These witnessed accounts of a mentioned reply

Lovelies reminder, spinning under a realization

Hostesses apron, bound to purities clean linen

Clarity undone to a suspicious meandering lost

Dynamics guttural tone within fabrics appendage

Another spoiled defiance, weathered of compliance

Life's donation before a flashy acclamation spent

Tonal damnation forged under tried compromise

Misery boldly felt, unto trilogy's bound continuum

New dawn seepage, again a daily reality plunging

Adjunct blemishes spinning under a triumphant

Blue passage reworked in a favor giddy believing

Thunder touching ground, to uncontrolled remit

Poisoned gratuity of diners long finished spoiling

The awakening sought on behalf of heart's reminder

Weathered happening, touched back & forth again

Theater's edged script, owned voluntary example

Pressures deniability, under a spied visual glancing

Saving a thing in yesterday's  horizon, past lived

Remembering diligent compromises, long gone

Visual denials, prance tween feelings insistence

Brevity, shadows a followed trepidation revealed

Gatherings understanding, a chosen immersion

Featured rendering, the danced preparation of pi

Serenity launched, of aftermath's voyaging ensue

Acceptance, pledged unto theater's many reviews

Times diligent wandering afoot, a valued conclave

Servitude cast, of speculative round-a-bout repeat

Destiny, running under a minuscule apprehension

Volatile's compromise, staged under moody skies

Existence fades within cloudy passage rarely seen

Reverence hiding, spiritually unable in a response

Tenacity, troubled by-way of engaged application

Living's speciality, grinding out a pressured involve

Annually, thy venue moves beyond scoped spying

Putrid followings, amber along stagnated unmask

Selfish inclination, governs a daily admonishment

The truth, fights among what's real and imaginary

Life saunters between dusty trails afoot 

Travels inclines, theaters subsequents falls 

Dallies insist, watery bubble compliance

staged familiar, aftermath's fusional end

Sustenance engulfed within divinities cue

Bravely begins a technical assault upon pi

Levities designed walk through everlasting

Spins blindly, the heresy's imaginary strut

Under our beginning, left to an imaginary

Peopled assault runs between damnation

livings twinkled command, stands waved

Winded compliance rolls along typology

Faded shenanigans, play havoc upon spy

Grieving melodramatic foreplay, denied

Yesterday's pondering tween an allowing

Previews reward, dancing under a falsity

Treasures minuscule gold, coveted reward

Insistent harboring, a times twilight reveal

Wanting's gather, spun before spidery trap

Black widow's web, a danger ridden invitation

Emotional remembrance within yesterday's tolerable

Flying images, of a harbored devastation upon liberty

Mentalities gorged phenomenon on quiet displaying

Reverence, lightly smelling through a borrowed denial

Tenacities greedy portrayal, as spun aloofly in blight

Staged passages unwind before darkened meander

Belated offerings wither under heated affirmations

Twisted damnation the borrowed feelings of remiss

Creators widened disassociation from our united trek

Blended compromise wheeled upon sufferings deny

Solvency clearly breeched, again spitefully enforced

Timetables blasphemy running hastily to visions decry

Pestilence vividly displaying in black and white offer

Water-colored happenstance, a memorable conclude

Angers dancing frolic, forbidden fruit to realities cure

Bravery tested within crimped etchings of  past resolve

Heralded conclusions glowing in highlighted recalling

Unforgettable acknowledgement, silently recorded

Wasteful sacrificed belonging, embodiments surrender

Children's faithful engagement, wondering compromise

Things from beginnings acquaintance

Trickling beyond the electrified seizure

While divided from yesterday's memory

Is enhanced of a loyal understanding

The sweetly tinted orientations beheld

Spinning against thundering highlight

Urgently adhering to our timed results

We blossomed inside the passing hours

Ungoverned palpitations of excitement

Fizzing upon minds oxygenated remiss

Gleefully shade powdery blue filled skies

Mystifying unity's dangling attraction

As the continually weightless floatation's

Preempt negativity's aggravated belief

Sending again twice favored desirability

Aptly preserving the sanctimonious union

And in the waning hours of sunshine

We remember our pledged testimonials

Trusting in purity's lighthearted ideals

Borne of beginnings destined tweaking
