Melodramatic poise,
suspended by time in the
outer-reaches of yesteryear;
Dramatic exclamation of
faithfulness...faithlessness,
frissons of past passion
Impulsive rapture held close
as a treasure, defying truth,
ignoring sensibility
All the while, the clock
ticks on with endless monotony
to the rundown of life.

An excellent message and a very thought provoking write. What can we do to make our day to day lives less monotonous and more meaningful? Perhaps it's time we stopped and re-assessed ourselves and our role on our planet and our role in humanity. Well done.
