Chrysalis Poem by Norman F. Santos

Chrysalis

Rating: 5.0


Incongruous creeper of star crossed fate
Muted dreamer with a living to tolerate
Swanking too compensate the lack of luster
A sycophantic wish delivering a note of disaster
As you regress inexorably to a cringe of pity
A cocoon not of metamorphosis but of mediocrity
Hoisted in the blind relishing promise
A delirium of emancipation from apathetic premise
Quelling identity to bargain sympathy
A herald of toppling chance of divinity
You opt for opulent wings, lavish and capturing
Denied amplification with no point of returning
A fancy to take flight but no intention to soar
Mindlessly hoping to turn at the count of four
Blanched with profound searing undraping
Swathed with hope for brand new wings
A failure to acquaint the puissant enemy
Eternally ensnared in a cosset of turgidity
