Babylon

Missing image
Enigma's sorceress beguiles with spell of self-deification,
erudition's incandescent carcinogens arouse vanity's harlot,
insides ache for stone incarnation of symbiosis between ethereal and carnal,
pillars consummate the elation orgy of reliance's crafted divinity,
utopian reverie's vision infuses with altered state of Quixotic ecstasy.

Heart palpitates in pounding passion over resonance gleamed from opulence,
paradisiacal euphoria creates its well of teleological champagne,
clarity's sobriety drowned in arrogance's inebriation,
blood of conscience cascades into chasm of mercurial immorality's stream,
man's Babylon quest for eternal identity left as ghosts among the hollowness.

    Excellent. Beside these lines, every line of this poem intensifies the powerful impact on the prompt.
    Best of Luck.
