River Of Shadows-Redux Poem by Misha Allport

River Of Shadows-Redux



Hilton always knew it was there
Twisting, turning-a current rare

Waiting, foreboding to his soul
Swashed by tides near the shoal

Flecks on water, black like coal
Streaks of aqua, seek their goal

Offshore, the delta long behind
His destiny placed well in mind

Ethereal visions dot the coast
And to forget the destined post

Winding up the river to his host
Kurtz-human, animal, god or ghost

A misty sheen wavers in the dark
The dun void beckons him on-hark

A sibylline way awaits his fate
Boding firmly, a recondite mate

Lost in royal haze and dim hate
And bound for a portentous gate

Her soul shadowing near and far
A Slyph looms in Ciudad Bolivar

Hilton sempre o soube que era la para
Torcendo, rodeando-correnteza rara

Delonga, pressentimentos a sua alma
Esparrinhado por mares baixia nela

Agua sarapintada ebaneo como hulha
vestigios de aqua, procuram meta sua

Proximo a costa, delta na retaguarda
Fado dele bem ficado em mente parada

Celestes aparicoes marcam a costao
Nao se-reunir de destinadora postao

Indo sinuosamente a seu anfitriao
Kurtz-um humano, animal ou espritao

Um lustro sombrio evoaca nas trevas
A cova embacada se-chama-se-examinas

Uma senda profetica anteve sua sina
Prenunciando uma amada misteriosa

Perdido numa neblina real, odio baco
Com destino a um portao pressagioso

Distante e perto alma dela sombrear
Numa slyph assoma em Cidade Bolivar
