Clouds of false pride………………..underneath modesty, they hide.
Stood up great, the candied glass of life,
Chirking up in faux pride of vernal wine.
Brimmed with gloat, no ail no grief;
All globe it induced, to bid as MINE.
Befogged in vapors of ego, enthroned so high;
Enticed the storm and descended the fall.
Tattered bitingly to footing in an awful sigh,
Bussed its end upon kismet’s surly call.
Erstwhile, a paradigm of glinting shine,
Threw off its splendor to the fatal night.
Knelt in hope for the stars to align.
Battered and bankrupted; lost the fight.
Reposed with a damped pride, naught remain;
Befriended the ground and feared the height.
Prayed for humility, its collapsed pieces so fine;
Freed is the ego, the glass is clear and al-right!
Marvelous poetic images… Toast to you!. Best wishes, Aquileana 😛

Your poem is so amazing “Freed is the ego” I like that part so much. Your words urge me to feel everything you have trying to tell us. Never knew a glass could be such a master piece though 😉 Love your piece.

Thanks for such brilliant appreciation darling. On stage, it looks comfortable but you should have witnessed how uncomfortable I was getting to the end of it. I was literally pulling each word by its tail to sit on my poetic bench. They were reluctant. So I tied them up tightly. HE HE 🙂
But Thanks for calling me POET. Feeling elated reading it. I hope it was not a slip. Loads of love to you too. 🙂
