JUDGEMENT
Bewildered by glorious scents fortuna fumes of,
they sought paths, encountering myriad obstacles
while simultaneously suffering from wounds
even Asclepius could not cure.
Dazzled by strong aroma Power exudes,
we bargained with Honor to grant us its key,
then toiled years for the safest trail
to our El-Dorado, subduing helpless clouds
casted by our descent on the journey.
Captivated by fame's audacious roarings
sourced from Success, he groaned all months
in seizing his Atlantis, finally
with the world on his palms, he got possessed
by Narcissus, drowned in vanities &
.... alas reached Waterloo after five decades.
Engulfed by the ambient grace &
eulogies to be sang on angelic lips
after my grandiose sojourn,
foreseeing a legacy, I, Leo sought
several gnosis from Methuselahs,
patiently hoping for my SamarKand - selah.
Wirra!, romanced by an awe
only envisaged in beauty,
with a face crafted by gods
who charm as light, she hum melodies
with faint voices, loving everyone,
courted by all yet hated by many;
.. stung by their venom,
yet to their shame, she lives forever.
